Negative Positive
Title: A sad disappointment!
Review: My favorite opera. The greatest music. Excellent singing and orchestra and conduction. I already have the superb Böhm / Fischer-Dieskau / Janowitz / Mathis / Prey / Troyanos recording if that is all I want. But opera is also a VISUAL medium. This production: the scenography dull, the wardrobe prosaic, and the fourth act a total turn off. It is supposed to take place in a garden, not in what looks like a bunch of falling pier supports. Might as well have filmed it on a garbage dump.
