Bravo!, 3 August 1998
Author: Matthew Ignoffo (mermatt@webtv.net) from Eatontown, NJ, USA

A real rarity -- an opera on film that still retains its power. In fact, this version is even more powerful that some stage productions. The subtitles are easy to read, the staging is atmospheric, and the cast is wonderful.
