Title: Comic perfection! Dessay and Florez shine.
Product review: I'm an opera enthusiast, but haven't previously owned one on DVD until this. I saw the live Met production and last year a Live in HD rebroadcast - now I have the DVD to savor. Dessay absolutely shines in this opera - her timing and expressions are unbelievable! Watching the live production, I saw Florez get a standing ovation that wouldn't stop until an encore (!) was sung - he's that amazing. The staging, cast and orchestra are wonderful - I couldn't more highly recommend this version. On a more mundane note, the recording is crisp and well-produced, allowing the viewer to really experience the great moments up close.
