Title: Bleah!
Review: A third rate production of a third rate opera. I only rented (thank god I had the foresight not to buy it) this opera because of all the rave reviews, most frequently performed opera in the world (I thought that was Carmen, which I also don't like), etc., I already knew I hated it. Didn't finish it, in the 30 or 45 minutes I watched, there was only one tune, Celeste Aida, weakly sung. The ballet at the idol was ridiculous. The direction was by the numbers. The aplause from the audience was as reluctant and meager as I felt listening. And the whole thing was saturated with the words "death" and "kill" and "war." Isn't there enough of that in the world without reveling in it in music! This was a far cry from music.
Is the review positive or negative?
