5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets., October 26, 2009

This review is from: Bellini: I Puritani [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This is the best of the best. Anna Netrebko is superb. The orchestra and chorus are outstanding and the total production typical of the Metropolitan Opera company claim to be the best. If you only buy one blu-ray opera DVD, this should be it. Why aren't more of the Met opera productions released in Blu-ray?

This review is from: Bellini: I Puritani [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Blu Ray is the way to see opera if you have a big screen TV and an excellent sound system. You get to see the singer's facial expressions, the look in their eyed, all the nuances of their performances. The cast here is outstanding, especially Anna Netrebko and Eric Cutler who looks so adoringly at Anna when he sings to her, you really believe he's in love with her. Both of their voices are superb as are their vocal gymnastics -- this is Bel Canto-- and their control is extraordinary

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Puritani, March 12, 2009

This review is from: Bellini: I Puritani [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This Puritani, which is part of the Metropolitan Opera's series of high definition broadcasts and recordings of live performances, is excellent. The staging is quite conventional, sets and costumes are beautiful, and the singing, especially Netrebko and Relyea, is excellent. The fact that it is available in high definition (Blueray) is an added bonus.
