Title: Poor video quality, Karen looks too old to be Elsa
Review: Overall performance is excellent, the set is simplistic yet effective. But I am surprised that nobody mentioned about the poor video quality. It's like watching VHS tape copied about 30 times, on overused cassette. However, the cover art on DVD case looks amazing!And Karen Armstrong playing Elsa, looks way too old! I believe Elsa is supposed to be late teens (17? 18?) in the play. Karen Armstrong was "only" 41 when this was filmed, but she looks more or less about 50-60 in this opera. The wedding scene thus looked ridiculous...Peter Hofmann in contrast looks amazing as well as all other supporting roles. No wonder the album cover shows Hofmann's face, but not Armstrong's.
Is the review positive or negative?
