Yes: there were transmission glitches. Yes: the Zeffirelli production is over the top. As it's supposed to be. But the singing was wonderful. Anyone who wasn't moved by Marina Poplavskaya' s "Liu" wasn't awake. Giordani tossed off "Nessun dorma" as if it were the easiest aria in the tenor repertoire. I heard the aria, not the hype that usually accompanies it. The intermission features are delightful -- a part of opera we would never see otherwise. Patricia Racette was an excellent host -- unlike Renee Fleming who manages to make anybody's comment about herself. The Met HD broadcasts are a wonderful gift to millions across the world -- glitches and all.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
