Title: Make it stop...pleeease!
Review: If you like ultra modern productions coupled with 270 year old music then you will love this DVD. Personally I'm not such a good reviewer on the music of this DVD. Because of the inappropriate staging of this production, I could only stand to watch the first couple arias before hitting the "power" button on my DVD player.One thing I don't AT ALL understand is why you have an ensemble of musicians dedicated to historically informed performances and then couple it with a staging reminicent of the SNL "Sprockets" sketch from the 1980's!!! Buy a CD and listen to the music only, if you're like me you'll be much happier. What's with the French detroying their own culture anyway? Les Indes Gallantes is 100% better in all respects.
Is the review positive or negative?
