The singing is magnificent, but the messing about with the story is unforgivable. Instead of being a delight, this production is a horror, and not only in having the composer shoot himself, then spend the rest of the opera as a zombie. The prologue is a mess, with people flopping to the floor without rhyme or reason. The Commedia characters are boring -- even Zerbinetta's aria, albeit beautifully sung, seems to take an eternity; in a good production, one is sorry when that aria ends ... but not this time. Poor Emily Magee spends the opera within the opera grimacing for the camera, and Saccà, singing superbly, wanders around lost. There is no logic at all to justify the ending. I am sorry I bought this one, and definitely do not recommend it. Buy the Levine or the Bohm (even though the latter is slightly murky B&W) in preference to this travesty.
