Rating:  - in no hurry to buy
Sometimes being "original" isn't necessarily better. Now don't get me wrong... I love this opera and grew up watching it on tv as did many reviewers.. But I'm not wasting my money on a black and white early tv video. What I am hoping for is a DVD of the wonderful video filmed on location in Israel with Theresa Stratas as the mother. I saw this the first time on PBS circa 1979, and was able to find a video tape produced by VAI. However it is time for a release of that performance on DVD. ... Read More
Rating:  - Very complete
excellent quality. The content is excellent too, with an insight of what was happening behind the stage from the mother's point of view, is where you really start knowing what happens in the real world, also I liked the chorus that was a bonus.
Rating: - Beautiful and nostalgic
It has been a long time since I have seen this wonderful opera. I don't know why they don't put it on TV particularly on the educational channels. I thoroughly enjoyed this dvd and it brought back such enjoyable memories. The music is very good and the melodies stay with you after it is over.
Rating:  - Wonderful Memories!

Rating: - Most exemplery performance
I agree that the DVD is somewhat dark.....but if you were one who saw this opera in 1952 (when I was 5 yrs old), which I did, under the close direction of Menotti himself, you will realize that this is the most exemplery rendering of the opera, unforgettable for the time, and never equalled in subsequent editions. No actress has ever equalled Rosemary Kuhlman's performance as the mother.
