Evita (1996)

Musical. Here is a modern political opera with style. The music is memorable esp. as sung by Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The makeup and costuming are superb. (Ah, the 1940s!) The crowd scenes (rallies, protests, marches, routs) are impressively staged. Madonna makes this production shine! Look out for streaks of melodrama though. 4.5 stars.
