great production

I would have to say that this tops all the past HD Met Opera Productions I have seen-- and I have watched all of them--- The role of Carmen -Eli
na Garanca was incredible- poweful voice, great looking, and wonderfully acted-- Roberta Alagna , the best I have heard him in quite awhile and the conducting was just magnificent--- But Elena as Carmen blew everybody away---- Love to see her as Delilah- Don't miss this Carmen because you will never seeanother like it ---

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Despite many technical glitches with dropping sound ( at inopportune moments) the performance was fine--- The star of the show I felt was Marina Poplavskaya as Liu- Beautiful voice , Beautiful looks , and a welcome .. I have seen many HD theatre presentations but this rated poorly with the dropouts and lines going through - What causes thIs? But will continue to go - its worth it
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Another livehd success-Aida

... Johann Botha got the job done as Rhadames but I prefer a more romantic voice in this role-- Botha has a very heavy Wagnerian voice,but neverthe less he was convincing as the warrior, Violeta Urmana, was wonderful in her Aida presentation -- Maybe a little too edgy on her top notes - producing a bit of a shrill but not sure if that was a technical flaw in the sound- The sound was very loud where I sat
Dolora Zajick was the big star with her menacing voice and strong presentation-- The reigning Mezzo in Verdi opera.
Carlo Guelfi was disappointing as Amonasro , although his acting did pick up in his big act with the lovely duet with Aida- however a rather gruff sounding voice-- No warmth here---
