Reception

The Sydney Morning Herald critic thought the "acting was not of a calibre to seem more than dutifully amusing at close quarter" and that some of the cast struggled "to suit lip, tongue and jaw movements to the sound of their own pre-recorded voices" but that "the compensations were many and decisive: coolly handsome settings and costumes... a sequence of witty and graceful drawings of orchestral musicians that solved the problem of what to do with the cameras during the overture; a general visual sophistication and dignity" as well as the "insinuating brilliance of Donizetti's music".[1]
