Title: The Met misses with this production of the famous Mozart opera
Product review: This is a barely adequate production of the great Mozart Opera.The spare stage settings create little of the "Singspiel" magic that this opera requires.Franciso Araiza is uninspiring as Tamino but other members of the cast are generally good - Kathleen Battle is appropriately girlish as Pamina, Kurt Moll provides some gravitas as Sarastro, and Manfred Hemm provides some energy and humour as Papageno.This production never springs to life and after a while one just sits there feeling bored.Sound and picture quality are OK.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
