Customer Review: I enjoyed this performance very much. I finally got to see what "Les Huguenots" is all about. Why this opera is not performed regularly is a mystery to me.
Customer Review: Sutherland really should have opted out and done herself -- and this production -- a favor. I simply couldn't get into it (and this is my favorite opera!) because she was just too huge and horsey. The dashing Danillo ... Read More
