  • Puccini's Butterfly from the Met.

    Image resolution is very good, as is the sound quality,This Metropolitan Stage Production is contemporary, slick yet engaging and 'moving', especially toward the conclusion, There is not the slightest hint of staleness,cliched or 'tiredness'. On the contrary, you are privileged to a stunning state of the art production, technologies and masterful, extraordinary performances from the entire cast. I can personally assure the sceptics out there, that even the 'animated puppet' of Pinkertons illegitimate child, is utterly convincing and emotionally charged from first appearance to conclusion, in brief ingeniously contrived puppet animating with seamless integration to the story as seen and performed, I am convinced Puccini would have been emotionally moved again. Even the marketing and such blurb 'in the box' is refreshingly pertinent yet subdued, all in all the Sony production teams must be thoroughly congratulated - without reservation for an incredible product/performance in this price range! Bravo (indeed!)
