If you're an opera fan or Verdi devotee, absolutely YES—this is a rare gem with world-class talent (Plácido Domingo, James Levine conducting) and a genuinely gripping story of guilt and redemption that deserves more love. Skip it only if you break out in hives at the thought of sitting through three hours of sung Italian drama.

Plot

Giuseppe Verdi's opera of religion, revenge and redemption gets the star treatment in this 1993 Metropolitan Opera production conducted by James Levine and starring Plácido Domingo as the cuckolded man of God at the center of the tale. Sharon Sweet sings the role of Domingo's adulteress wife and Vladimir Chernov plays the vengeful father in this rarely staged gem directed by Giancarlo del Monaco and filmed by Brian Large.
