Beautiful Rusian music, cuire singing. Boris very good base. Last act too brutal, but of course true to reality for the time and country.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I like the decorations on all of these shows. In this opera some known and beautiful arias. Plot kind of terible. First act dark but acceptable. After the show hall lights stayed off. Hard for older people to manuver.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

La Boheme very good, a bit too loud

I find these movies better than live. You have closeups, see their expresions. Of course, it is not always good. You see '300 pound' starving poet and '50 year old' inocent virgin. BUT you have the best seats, no matter where you sit. Pluss the seats are usualy more comfortable. And you hear the best singers in the world, at a fraction of the price. All in all very good.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Best way to watch an Opera

Pro. You see and hear best singers, and in close up. HD is marvelous for clarity. Modern movie theaters are much more comfortable than old fasioned Opera hauses. (They have more money, Ha, ha.) Con. This particular opera (Simon Boccanegra) had no memorable melodies, to sing while in the shower. Ha, ha.
