There isn’t much time to watch this, but it is a really enjoyable performance of an opera which is very well-known but which I think I’ve only seen once.

It is a really lovely production and because it’s filmed, we have the opportunity to see the set up close and it’s beautiful. Hugh De Ana is the director, set designer and costume designer for the production and that’s not a surprise as the set and costumes go so well together. The set is full of beautiful greys and dark blues and that is echoed in the singers’ clothes. The beautiful colours show the romance and love in the story, but the set is full of angles and shadows which show how difficult it is for the three central characters in particular.
