An excellent Puritani

"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."

"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"
Great Performance

"This Blue Ray DVD is really terrific...The singing is all great, the acting, stage direction and orchestral playing are equally wonderful. The HD video and audio both add to to the enjoyment of this wonderful opera."
