Review title: " About As Enchanting As A Root Canal"
Product review: This production of "Figaro" has to rank as one of the most ungainly ever staged. Although it has a cast of distinguished singers, they are sabotaged by a conductor bent apparently on proving the old canard that Mozart's music has too many notes. Perhaps this is why he lingers unduly over each one, moving through the score at an elephantine pace. Similarly, the stage director has eliminated whatever in the text is light, bright and sparkling, matching the conductor in weighing down this sharp comical satire with an inappropriate dourness. I agree with earlier critics of this DVD, wishing only that I'd read their comments before I purchased it. Question: Are there any productions from M22 that seek to do other than be ugly and boring in novel ways?
