The orchestral sweep is still irresistible. I enjoyed the theatricality most when the production trusted the music and let a scene breathe. I would be curious to see a different production.
A wonderfully atmospheric score, even when the story stretches credibility. The contrast between the intimate duets and opera scenes is the real draw. Worth sitting with for a while afterward.
