Wonderful performance. Good seats for the price. An opera lover's opera. The lead singer, Sondra Radvanovsky (who alternated with Renee Fleming) was marvelous, as were all the leads. She brought down the house.

My experience was above and beyond what I expected. The seats were phenomenal at the absolutely lowest price I could have gotten anywhere else. The show was amazing and featured Placido Domingo as the conductor. It was super easy to purchase the tickets online a day before the event and pick them up at will call. I was very pleased.

Outstanding singing, great music, nice production. All in all a revelation about a piece that is infrequently performed. Plot of the opera is somewhat silly, but that is not unusual for operas. One more performance (Mon. night, 11/17), so take advantage of it if you have a chance.
