Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD

La Fille du Regiment (2x8)

:

This is a jewel. Just about perfect in every way, and an example of how an old but goodie can be updated without being baffling or fighting against the music. Kudos to director Laurent Pelly and the entire cast. Juan Diego Florez and Natalie Dessay shine with vocal highlights every time. An updated production which sticks to the story, respects the music, and allows the performers to take the stage.
