My first HD Met Opera but not my last

While I think Rossini's later operas were more brilliant, Fleming's singing in this conventionally-written but very enjoyable one is reason enough to present it and to attend it, and then there are the rest of the fine cast in addition to her! The musical performance is very fine right through, with good tempos. And we can hear it well; the mix is clear even when soloists, chorus and orchestra all hold forth. But the camera is so often mercilessly close, we can't see what's going on sometimes; when we do see, though, we enjoy some beautiful scenes. Recommended. Catch the encore 5/19/10.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
