Glad I saw it
PostedMarch 28, 2010
Thank you Mr Gelb. I don't think I would have ever been interested in seeing this work as I always thought of Ambroise Thomas as old as his first name...
But how wrong I was! Very interesting opera indeed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A top MET production
PostedFebruary 7, 2010
The singers were all great with Placido Domingo the best of them all.
The sets were magnificent, as well as the staging and the costumes.
All in all if you like opera this is a must to be seen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Quite an Escamillo
PostedJanuary 17, 2010
The main lead for Eascamillo, Mariusz Kwiecien, having fell suddenly sick , he was replaced by Teddy Tahu Rhodes (I am not sure of the name).
He was magnificent and we will certainly hear more about him in the years to come.
What a great tenor!
All the others were very good too.
A very good production.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great new version
PostedOctober 11, 2009
I was not sure that this new version would please me.
I was wrong. Except for a few details (for instance, the portrait of Marie Magdalena showing her naked breast is a total nonsense for that epoch) I enjoyed the new production very much.

Luc Bondy has come up with some great new ideas and we can all profit from it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

What a spectacle!
PostedNovember 23, 2008
I am not a fan of Berlioz grandiloquent proponent of the Catholics' credo of virginity being the goal in a life of virtue but, I must say that I was astounded by Robert Lepage's creativity.
As a visual spectacle alone, it is worth seeing, particularly the first half which presents tableaux of so much color and action that should not be missed. Really beautiful!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
