Probably as good a version of a filmed opera as you are going to see anywhere. The Blu Ray is an excellent transfer and the photography courtesy of Gerry Fisher is absolutely stunning.
Be forewarned that this is a 3 hour film. However the nice thing about the Blu Ray disc is that you can pause it and take as many breaks as you want or need.
The director Joseph Losey has done an excellent job transferring this opera to film. Amusingly enought he apparently fell asleep while attending a live performance of the opera.
It doesn't hurt to have a good filmed version of what is considered to be one of Mozart's greatest operas.
The screenplay was by Losey, Rolf Liebermann, Patricia Losey, Renzo Rossellini, and Frantz Salieri based on the libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music of course.
