We went last night eagerly looking forward to a beautiful concert, and instead, watched a documentary film with not enough music, and certainly, not enough of the cantors singing together. The film was very good, just not what we were expecting. Two women we were with had parents from Poland (one of them was born in Poland herself) and found the movie very emotional and were crying. Again, movie was very good, just not what expected.
Best Met production I've seen. Totally unfamiliar with the score and was entranced. It was a double treat to have the ballet as the second act. The costumes were outstanding. Everything about this opera was outstanding. Would see it again tomorrow.
