Singing was superb - but that's to be expected from the Met. But Poplavskaya was emotionally flat as Marguerite, not what you want in a Marguerite given what that character goes through in the opera. Worse, the entire production was so physically dark and shadowy that it was difficult to see, making it impossible enjoy. I felt as if I were looking through a peephole into a shoe box. First really bad Met HD production I've attended.
