I saw the Metropolitan Opera's "HD Live" presentation of "Les Troyens" and was glad that I did; but then we know that I am much more enthusiastic about opera than you are.
aradiva and I have a story about a regional opera company -- Pittsburgh, maybe? -- which edited the Ring cycle down to two evenings. I wish I'd seen that. I am coming to appreciate Wagner somewhat but he sure needed an editor.
The Met is repeating their "La Fille Du Regiment" in movie theaters in mid-July. This was from 8 years ago, with Natalie Dessay doing a spectacular amount of comedy to go with the singing. One of the best of the 9 years of the movie-theater series. "Daughter of the Regiment" I could compare to G&S in spirit, so you might want to take a look at it. YouTube has clips.
