Title: Weird Interpretation
Product review: This was a rather novel setting for the opera in an English school. While the singing was very good, as well as the acting, the interpretation is weird. I prefer a more traditional production. It seems arrogant on the part of opera producers to reject tradition in favor of their own fads. If you look at the box cover, it appears traditional. But, you will not get tradition. You get a sorceress who is some type of sex freak with punk-mod girls as her assistance.Traditional opera setting as required by the composer provides us with real insight into the past and the composer's mind. A really good traditional production can complement our understanding of some of the great CD recordings.
