Title: annoying stage production
Review: A good director can certainly make an opera more interesting and enjoyable by adding unusual touches, especially when they are done gracefully. Unfortunately, in this production the bizarre changes make no sense, and as far as I can tell, their only purpose is to draw attention to the stage director. Instead of enjoying the opera, I find myself just getting more and more distracted. I doubt I?ll ever watch this annoying production again. What a pity. The opera Der Freischutz belongs in any desert island collection.
