Title: Visually unatractive
Review: In my opinion, opera should be fun to watch, not just fun to listen to. On this performance the staging is minimal and the wardrobe is plain and unatractive. There is what seems to be a projection screen behind the performers which presents a white rectangle on a black background that grows or shrinks according to the action. That is the sum total of the scenography for this opera, aside for some chairs and tables used by the performers on stage (!). Given the fact that the singing and the orchestral performance on this disc are excellent, this poor scenographic choice detracts from the value of the performance. What a waste of a chance to produce a memorable disc!
