Our party of four attended at the Ontario Mills AMC on April 5 and were most disappointed with the transmission. The first 5 minutes were blank screen with sound, then the picture appeared and it was very dark. During the intermissions you couldn't hear Rene Fleming's interviews because of the background noise. Nonetheless.......we enjoyed it very much. On a positive note, we also attended Tristan and Isolde on March 22 and everything was PERFECT. For those of us who can't afford opera in Los Angeles (let alone a plane ticket to New York), this is a wonderful way to experience the new singers, the creative staging and the beautiful music. Please do this again next season
