Query: You can't beat Renee Fleming!

This DVD is my first viewing/hearing of this opera and can't understand how I have missed it all these years. It is "my new favorite opera". The music, the singing, the acting, the staging, the costumes, the lighting and the directing are all perfect.I was surprised to see only one other review of this production here on Amazon.com, and wanted to encourage anyone hesitating to get this on that account to go for it. You will not be disappointed.
