I was left speechless by the Met's production of Hamlet. Bravissimo! Simon Keenlyside leaves little doubt as to why the Met brought back Hamlet after 150 years just due to his acclaimed performance. At first I was dissapointed when I heard Natalie Dessay would not be performing Ophelie due to an illness, but Marlis Petersen brought down the house with her performance. Her Ophelie mad scene was among the Met's best. This HD experience is a must-see. If you missed it live, you must see the encore performances.
