Title: Great Show
Product review: This is a wonderful production, superbly directed, sung, acted and filmed. One might nit pick here and there but I'm not a nit picker. Everyone is so perfect in their individual roles, so rightly cast.The acting all around is terrific and just as rich in close ups as from a distance. This is very demanding vocal music that requires extraodinary abilities of the supporting players and they all deliver no matter how small the role. Gorgeously costumed and set in the 1860's, the ladies gowns can be somewhat cumbersome. A rare opera where no one dies although a duel is barely avoided a happy ending ensues joyfully expressed by Mandryka's ecstatic skips as the final curtain descends. Only the very difficult will be disappointed but for those of us who don't know too much, it's a pleasure. Very highly recommended.
