 Rating: - almost perfectThis Glyndebourne production is the best I have seen. The singers and the staging and of course the direction are as good as one could wish. The orchestra has a few weaknesses, especially at the beginning, butis still quite good. Rating:  - Features an outstanding performance by Miah Persson and spectacular filming using HD camerasI hate to be the sole dissenter, but I don't think this is a five-star production.

But this production uses the short version of the Act I finale so buyers beware - if that matters to you. (I prefer the long version.) Rating: - not anyone do it betterRefined edition of an opera+sublime dvd like most from "Opus Arte" where pictures are taken through HD cameras. True, not anyone can do dvd better. |
