Nothing boring about this version of opera. All stellar examples of opera's best. Find an older, probably a used version in like-new condition since new copies are defective with skips. Two skip versions from MovieMars and they insisted I go elsewhere for a used version. It was worth the trip.

For the price paid this music is great! A combination of most favorites. Some of the music sounds as if the performers where a little untrained but too few. Most of it was absolutely delightful.
