Speaking revolutionary thoughts can get you killed during the wrong regime.
Staging/sets/costumes/acting/singing all fine. Story I didn't follow too closely; it looked familiar from when I watched a version at Met on Demand ('96 version with Pavarotti, which I called 7.5, and did claim to follow). This one's an 8 with a shrug. It might be better or worse if I paid closer attention.
Rated 7.7 (21)
