I went to the Sunday matinee and thought it was wonderful-- I choked up at the end. Renee Fleming really didn't "belt out" any notes until her last solo which I found mesmerizing. The scenery stayed the same throughout the show, they just turned the statue around in the second act. I found all the supporting players really great especially Solea.

So bottom line, if you are not a subscriber and are available to watch the live stream you can--for a fee. Otherwise, non-subscribers have to wait 2 months and then may purchase an edited version.
