Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great way to see a Ring Cycle
I think this is a both a great introductory Ring Cycle for people new to the work and a nice video version for people already familiar to it. The voices are light for their roles, but the magic of the Ring comes across. The visuals (set designs) in Das Rheingold are spectacular. The acting and visual aspect are good here. The singers are sometimes light for their roles, but they are still decent enough. I think most opera lovers would enjoy this, if they have never seen it before.
Rating:  - Best 'authentic' Wagner 'Ring'

Excellent presentations.Excellent purchase process.Delivery was within 2 or 3 days of transaction.
Rating: - Epic performance
This is an epic performance of the most epic of operas.The Met brings all of its awesome technical capabilities to bear in creating a splendid, if traditional, visual presentation, very nearly matched by sumptuous and passionate vocal and theatrical performances.James Morris is one of the best Wotans of the past generation.Siegfried Jerusalem is a thrilling Siegfried (and a surprisingly good Loge).Hildegarde Behrens does not fit the usual physical type for a Walkure and is not Birgit Nilssen, but ...
