I loved tonight's spare staging because it really highlighted the singers' (esp. Stephanie Blythe's, whom I just love) sumptuous voices..and the soprano, Danielle De Niese (Sri Lankan) was v. beautiful. Please try to catch the next, Lucia de Lammermoor, w/c I saw two years ago, or Madame Butterfly w/c was designed by the late Anthony Minghella and choreographed by his Hong Kong-born Chinese wife. The soprano is very famous, Anna Netrebko, and you probably heard, how she was early on marketed as---at the Mariinsky...highly romantic stuff, an iota of w/c you would not believe when you see just how beautiful she is.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The immediacy of the concert experience is unbeatable. The film rocks...no, let me correct that, Q-U-A-K-E-S. And what are these 60+s doing to be able to do what they do...yeah, as one professional critic wrote: "s(), d()s and rock n roll"; no doubt. Very enjoyable; couldn't keep still all throughout.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Too true to be fictional

This movie helped me see just how funny my own life is...in fact, made me appreciate it, rather than lament it. The writer certainly has his pulse on mid-life love, what?--relationships--so awkward, so sweet. Hey kids, mind your own business!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
