Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointing!!
Review: I bought this after reading the great reviews. I have to say now that I agree with the 1 star reviewers. I love Mozart operas but this production ruins it. I bought this as an introduction to opera for my two young children but it is too dark and there is too many closeups. I want to see the whole stage all the time. As another viewer mentioned, the closeups and varying camera angles are maddening. During the overture, there is constant scanning of the audience's faces - way boring. And during the movie, going back to view one particular girl's face, totally worthless. Although I do like Bergman's other movies, this venture is rated a D.
