Title: The old Stand and sing MET
Product review: The telecast of Fille du regiment set a very high standard for opera in genral and for the Met specifically. They returned to their old "star-driven" stand and sing production for Netrebko. The chorus was static and uninvolved, the baritone was loud and unsubtle, the tenor was tall, handsome and VERY nasal and the young bass has started to sing out of the side of his mouth. There must have been dubious cuts and the only acting and movement were done by Netrebko. Hers is a beautiful instrument, but not really suited to this kind of music.I hope the Met keeps going in the new direction of energized and logical porductions. This was a true disappointment.
