Title: Disappointing operas
Product review: Although the staging of both of these operas is stunning and the orchestra playing as well as the singers are top notch, theyleft me totally unimpressed. Musically they both lack ideas and fail at creating the atmosphere suited to their respective subject matter. The Zemlinsky I admired in his Mermaid Symph. and the Lyriche Symphony is nowhere to be heard. Ullmann is even a lessercomposer. His Broker Jug is full of recitatives and the 40 minutes of this opera becomes endless. However I thank the LA opera forbringing them to the attention of all opera lovers.
