Title: Weak on all counts
Product review: Pretty much bottom of the heap for available productions of The Magic Flute. The Behrens review is right on target in most respects, although I can't think why he gave it 4 stars. Average singing, racism (typical, however for Europeans in 1992, who still thought racist images were cute - they are just getting it now), boring production, not really modern or post-modern, just simple-minded. My sympathy to all the people who worked hard under poor management. Nevertheless, it's only for those whose curiosity gets the better of them.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
