5.0 out of 5 stars
A "Must-Have" for Contemporary Opera lovers
The DVD is fantastic and has some great singing. The direction is great, as well... balancing the bizarre with reality. There's also some great interviews with Thomas Ades, the composer as an additional feature.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Annoying staging par excellence
This is a wonderful opera. Too bad the DVD release had to be of this hideous production. All the actors are miscast, and the direction is simply astonishingly ghastly. I will continue to listen to the superb recording, without visuals. Also included in the package is a portrait of the composer, much more worthwhile. It is too bad about opera directors....
