Great Experience!

Top notch production...voices that were some of the most beautiful that I have ever heard. A first class achievement! Some figures in some scenes that were closest to the viewer were blurred...a gitch that didn't take away from the overall wonderful experience, but I think will be ironed out in the future.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Excellent! But...AMC let us down again!

Having been my first time to see this opera...the sets, and the voices were just wonderful. The Met lived up to its name with this one! Again, AMC let us down again, being an encore presentation, as in the last 5 minutes of the opera, including the curtain call, the screen went suddenly black, sound still on....a very abrupt and disappointing end to an otherwise wonderful experience. The house lights didn't come on either, when the screen went black...and the lights stayed off after the audio ended...leaving me and older audience members having to make their way in the dark toward the exits! So we had two "tragic" endings, to this opera!!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A recommendation, with a caveat

I feel I have yet to see a truly first rate production of Turandot, this being my first. The Zefferelli sets were unsurpassed...the voices fair to good. But the frequent picture static, punctuated with a complete loss of sound, and an occasional total loss of the video transmission prevented me from being carried away into this entrancing opera. I would recommend this only to opera buffs,and then with the caveat already described. I was not ready for the possibility of the glitches in the transmission, and I attended with a confidence that the technology was reliable. I was not told otherwise. Might it be more realistic for the Met HD production organization to include a description that states the possiblity of transmission problems?
Yes, I recommend this movie.
