    First-rate opera film, one to compete with Mitterand's Madame Butterfly among modern-day Puccini adaptations.....Beautifully sung and staged, with some creative directorial innovation. A superb presentation of Puccini on film.

    A marvelous experience that I want to share with as many people as I can convince to go see it. So far it's twice for me and going to be a third time.

    I don't really like opera. A lot of people hate it. I can see that those who have acquired a taste for it would like this film. I watched it all. Honest I did. Followed the plot and everything. I didn't sing along or flail my arms back, knocking my fine venetian crystal out of my mahogany china cabinet or anything like that. But I paid attention. I hate to appear unsophisticated, but those subtitles were a godsend. Did you know that at the end of an opera lovers are united and life is reaffirmed? I didn't know what I was missing. I still don't. But it wasn't that hard to follow - that's got to be worth some points.… Expand

    Audiences are advised to sit near the back and squint to avoid noticing some truly egregious lip-non-synching, but otherwise the production is suitably elegant, a fine retreat from summer cinema overkill.

    For the broader audience, this seems both suffocating and confusing -- True opera buffs, however, are more likely to feel thrilled, as if they're privy to a private production of the highest caliber.

    The result is a fine production with splendid singing by Angela Gheorghiu, Ruggero Raimondi, and Roberto Alagna. It joins the very short list of first-rate opera films.
