My husband and I saw the movie yesterday. Such a treat ! The singing and acting were amazing, the music is beautiful, the sets and costumes were just lovely. The interviews backstage included Placido Domingo, Renee Fleming, Susan Graham ( my favorites ) We had two intermissions, right along with the audience at the Met, during which they showed the sets being moved into place for the next act. All in all a thrilling experience for much less than it costs for tickets at the Met itself. I thank the Met and the theatres involved for this magnificent opportunity.
