 As good as it gets.Oct 26, 2009
By Bruce
This is the best of the best. Anna Netrebko is superb. The orchestra and chorus are outstanding and the total production typical of the Metropolitan Opera company claim to be the best. If you only buy one blu-ray opera DVD, this should be it. Why aren't more of the Met opera productions released in Blu-ray?

I PuritaniJan 23, 2010
By Dr. Elaine O. Chaika
"book, movie, tech lover"
Blu Ray is the way to see opera if you have a big screen TV and an excellent sound system. You get to see the singer's facial expressions, the look in their eyed, all the nuances of their performances. The cast here is outstanding, especially Anna Netrebko and Eric Cutler who looks so adoringly at Anna when he sings to her, you really believe he's in love with her. Both of their voices are superb as are their vocal gymnastics -- this is Bel Canto-- and their control is extraordinary

An excellent PuritaniMar 13, 2009
By A. BOSS
"AEB"
This Puritani, which is part of the Metropolitan Opera's series of high definition broadcasts and recordings of live performances, is excellent. The staging is quite conventional, sets and costumes are beautiful, and the singing, especially Netrebko and Relyea, is excellent. The fact that it is available in high definition (Blueray) is an added bonus.

Outstanding performanceMar 26, 2011
By A. Delaspozas
"Alicia"
Bellini: I Puritani
I liked this production since the first time that I saw it on PBS, even though it took a while to buy it.
I found the cast very good mainly the principal characters:
Elvira played by Anna Netrebko was very convincing, her transformation when She thought that her fiancé was running away with somebody else and performance the "mad scene" singing and effortless acting when she dropped to the floor in a frenzy attack continuing singing , at the end she showed her happiness when he returned and married her.
Eric Cutler played Elvira's fiancé very well done having a wonderful voice for this role.
John Relyea who I have seen playing other characters in other operas was very good in this role showing his love and concern for her sister.
The scenery, choreography and costumes were very successful, as well as the orchestra and direction were outstanding.
This is a beautiful performance and the quality of this DVD is great, in my opinion deserves 5 stars.

Great PerformanceApr 21, 2010
By Charles Weinstein
"chuckroast"
This Blue Ray DVD is really terrific...The singing is all great, the acting, stage direction and orchestral playing are equally wonderful. The HD video and audio both add to to the enjoyment of this wonderful opera.
