Patricia H The lead soprano was amazing as both a comedic actor and a singer. Her vocal range is incredible. All the singers were great but she stood out. The modern simplistic set pieces worked very well, very creative. It's a 3 1/2 hour production, and every minute was worth it. Beautiful, stunning talent. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/25 Full Review Kyle B I never thought I would enjoy opera so much. Absolutely hilarious, well worth it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Barbara G It is so wonderful to be able to see Metropolitan Opera events in HD at our local movie theaters. This show did not disappoint. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Fern The singers were fabulous as was the scenery in this new production. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Olga S Marvelous encore show - the cast/voices superb, the music/orchestra/conductor gorgeous, the staging and costumes terrific. Thank you for letting the audiences view gorgeous Met productions on the big screen in movie theaters - it's just as good (if not better :) ) as being present at the theater in person, only more affordable. I am looking forward to 2025/26 Met season in movie theaters! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Marjorie This was easily the best production offered during this season of HD showings. The only problem was with the theater - they couldnt get the film to run correctly so subtitles didnt show on the screen. Nevertheless, the cast was superb, the music gorgeous, the staging and costumes terrific. I hope the Met will put this production into their encore rotation sooner rather than later.
