Customer Reviews
Why has no reviewed this before
The Makropoulos (sp) Affair is probably Janacek's best known opera and it certainly has the most interesting plot line since it was written by the well known writer Karel Capek (think science fiction). The plot alone is interesting enough to keep one's attention. The music is quite interesting, yet it seems perfectly in keeping with the story and provides interest to it as a good opera should. The sound and particularly the video are also well done. Most of the singing and acting is first rate though the vibrato and accuracy of a lead tenor and the lead soprano kcause some problems in listening to the opera. I won't try to give a synopsis of the story, but simply recommend this video as an excellent example of what 20th century opera coould do.
