The best thing about it other than the quality of the music is the performance of Inva Mula, her voice has warmth and clarity, she is very musical, she is a very compassionate actress who connects with every word she sings and her personal beauty makes it easy to believe why anybody would fall for her character. This production is interesting if you're unfamiliar with the opera and want to see a production(a different experience to hearing a recording), but while there are good merits to be had it did feel mediocre. The music as said though is great and distinctively Bizet. Also whereas Carmen is hugely compelling and filled with emotion and Pearl Fishers has moments like that, of the three La Jolie Fille de Perth is the least involving. The story is one where not much really happens and in parts where there is more going on it feels convoluted. La Jolie Fille de Perth is one of those operas that has beautiful music but also a fairly weak story.
