Worth about $18.00, but not much more.Firstly, the picture quality is quit grainy on my 42" 1080 HD TV...probably shot on non HD Video. Looks almost as bad as a VHS tape...The lighting is too dark in many places. The opera has only one sparsely decorated set. The costumes are OK, but not great.The singers, none of whom I know, are again OK, but none are memorable.The directing and acting routine, orchestra all OK, but not memorable....The English is OK, but there are no subtitles and I cannot aways understand the words..All told, I would advise to spend more on a blue ray disk, with a better cast, and you would enjoy this great opera better.
