Movie Review: Madame Butterfly

I actually bought this for my Mother's 77th birthday (at her request). She says she LOVES it!! I know that she'd rate it five stars. I'm happy that she's happy.
Thank you.
Movie Review: Butterfly, The Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen Butterfly at San Francisco, Lyric Opera of Chicago and at numerous other venues, so it's an opera whose nuances I think I know pretty well. I cannot imagine any performance that I've ever seen of any opera that didn't have something I wished had been done differently, but picking apart this presentation really is difficult. OK, the 'floating relatives' were a little too Hollywood, but the close-ups, setting, costumes, acting and, yes, singing were truly sublime. I have several other performances on both CD and DVD, but in all fairness, none of them take you as deeply into the love affair between Butterfly & Pinkerton as this one does. Really, the only thing I've seen lately that approaches the intimacy of such a performance is the Met broadcasts live in theatres. If you only buy one Butterfly DVD, make it this one. In fact, I'd almost say if you've never been to an opera before, start here. It's really that good.Movie Review: Beautiful story, great film !
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful story. The performance is excellent. Don't miss this classic dramatic opera presented as a film. Bravo !!Movie Review: my favorite "beginners" opera
Summary: 5 Stars
This delightful DVD has helped me win over a few opera converts. I found it to be visually pleasing and simplistic which in my opinion is a plus. Also Huang brings authenticity to a role so commonly filed with...less believable leads...Not to mention her voice! A must for those new to the opera community, or those wishing to introduce it to others.Movie Review: Outstanding production.

Asin BOOOOF39MA6.
This is an outstanding video. To take excellent singers from Asia and America made sense in this opera .Ying Huang was very convincing as Butterfly, she is a very sensitive singer and actress as well as Richard Troxell as Pinkerton especially the transformation of his character from the first act and the third. The rest of the cast was excellent, very beautiful scenery and very good sound..
I found some of the Japanese's scenes from the beginning of the century in the opening of the third act with the intermezzo music to be gorgeous .I am very glad to have selected this DVD among all selections that I had.
