Title: Poor performance and awful video
Product review: Wildly out-of-tune singing, sometimes wandering a whole step sharp; inaccurate rhythms put singers far from the beat; tempi consistently rushed; chorus singing in Russian while soloists sing in heavily accented Italian; many other musical and vocal reservations; inscrutible intertitles, and almost half the screen taken by subtitles in Prologo -- then no subtitles for the rest of the film. There are better performances of this opera to be seen yearly in just about every major city.
