I had only seen one performance of this opera before purchasing this DVD. That was at the Vancouver Opera back in the 1960's. It starred Joan Sutherland in the title role. As I remember I was not all that inpressed.
However, I am now a convert. The complete production is nothing short of spectacular. All of the cast rise to the occasion with Anna Netrebko as the icing on the cake.

Very lovely production. I love the intro to the story of this Opera and the little interviews of the Soprano before the mad scene.
I can't give this production a 5 star cause of the ending of the Mad scene. It was rather a soft finish.
As I sat there anxiously waiting for Netrebko to finish the flute scene with a high note, she took a dip and finished so softly. I was disappointed but it doesn't mean she can't reach those notes, it means the decision to vary the ending is probably questionable. Oh well. Still a wonderful Opera.
Bass was great, Tenor was amazing I think I'm starting to really like Beczala, I could care less for the Baritone, maybe it was more stage presence rather than vocals. Not sure yet.

I saw the cinecast and it was a good performance. My one star is because of the price on amazon.ca - on the US site, it is listed at $27.99.
