Title: A nightmare at the opera
Review: This is a nightmarish production that bears little resemblance to Purcell's story and is not remotely connected to his stunningly beautiful music. There are drag queens, gay couples, a "drunk" singer, bad taste throughout - you name it. It is not uplifting and inspiring, but depressing and degrading.It is so bad and absurd that I was surprised Peter Sellar's name is not in the credits.Avoid like the plague. Get a CD instead, close your eyes and enjoy Purcell's extraordinarily inspired music. You've been warned.
