Masterful, Great singing, Entertaining, Enchanting, Delightful

See it if you want to see a traditional opera tragedy love triangle expertly performed & designed - the set design was amazing!

Don't see it if you want to avoid love triangles, the tragedy of a young female death (& death bed scene), a tragic romance, money over love & life...
