Live on R3 last Saturday and live in 1,167 cinemas worldwide (20 countries,I think) last night.
A more or less traditional production ie mercifully free of directorial 'ideas' about demonstrating modern relevance to a dim audience.
The rather tiresome (to me) opening scene played as well as I've seen it and lovely and moving singing as Puccini tightens his emotional grip in Act 3. Altogether wonderful.
