Making Opera Accessible
PostedApril 7, 2008

from Phoenix, AZ
The Met in HD is opening up opera to a whole new audience. I had always thought of opera as stuffy and elitist, and had little interest in it. Several things changed that. Tthe addition of sub-titles to translate the lyrics into English makes the story understandable. But seeing productions of the unrivaled quality of the Metropolitan Opera show you the true beauty of all the art forms that work together to create opera. Beyond the singing and music, there is drama, stagecraft, lighting, costumes, and all the other elements that go together to create great theatre. Many of these pieces are several hundred years old, which is a testament to humanity's creative spirit. Seeing the Met on the big screen in HD is something that everyone should do at least once--you will be stunned and surprised by the experience.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
