Opera on the screen?? - Big Yes!!

from Woodbridge, NJ
This is the first time I went to the theatre to watch an opera. I wasn't sure if it would be at least comparable to going to the Met, but it proved to be an excellent experience. And if you are from NJ and/or can't find decently priced tickets anymore at the Met it is worth trying this alternative. This particular production was a masterpiece in itself: First Puccini's operas and La Boheme in particular are among the most popular and frequently performed operas - you do not have to be an Opera fan to enjoy them, all you need is a diversified taste for music. Second this is Franco Zeffirelli's production - I do not have to say more about that, if you are a real movie lover; I will just add that you might think you really are in Paris watching the movie (I guess you can call this a bonus). And last but not least Angela Gheorghiu (as Mimi), Ramon Vargas (as Rodolfo), and the rest of the cast, where just impressive. I guess Zeffirelli was right, opera is the most complete of the arts. Just go and watch it!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
