I couldn't take my eyes off.I appreciate the talent of these characters even more. Brittney...WOW!!!! the movie was very skillfully constructed to relate the trial and tribulations of the characters with teenagers in real life. Kids who struggle with weight, size, disabilities, homosexuality, etc. can find a counterpart in the show who is successful with their disabilities. worth seeing again and again.
Opera in HD is one of the Met Opera's best ideas. It brings a new dimension to opera enjoyment to a wide range of people who would not be able to access it in NYC. Tales of Hoffman is no exception. I have a subscription to the Met Opera and I go to NYC as well as catch the HD performances. If there comes a time when I can't travel to NY (from Boston) I will still have access to the Opera.
