If
you’re going to film a stage version of Mozart’s famous opera, you can’t really
fail with a director like Ingmar Bergman at the helm. He sets
the mood by taking you into the audience as the overture plays, showing the
faces of all ages, as if to say this is for everyone to enjoy, come with
me. Then you get to experience the magic of a fairy tale set to music by
a genius. I’ve never seen this opera before and knew nothing of
the tale it’s based on but I did enjoy it. I would recommend
this for anyone who enjoys theater and especially opera. Of course I’m
not a huge fan of opera and I liked it so maybe you just need to be opened to
older styles of entertainment. Grade: B+
