Russia
Colorful, exuberant adaptation of an opera written in the 19th Century by Rimsky-Korsakov. Fairy tale-ish. Beautiful looking with lovely locations, native costumes, handsome players, etc. Some of the music was wonderful but the solo singing parts seemed excessively mannered to my ears.
The drama was pretty primitive - roughly on a par with something you'd see on a contemporary children's cartoon.
An interesting peek into another culture's folk legend.
