The singers are uniformly excellent, while Bergman emphasizes the full theatrical experience by integrating the audience’s responses and backstage events within the opera itself. In 1976, the National Society of Film Critics gave Ingmar Bergman a special award “for demonstrating how pleasurable opera can be on film.” We’d be the last to disagree.
