Negative Positive
Title: Bad-Bad-Bad
Review: Regrettably, I have to agree with Sepand Ghanouni (December 29,2005). I found this production profoundly disappointing. Perhaps it's only a question of poor video equipment or lighting or God-knows-what, but almost every scene comes off as dark, gloomy, and indistinct - and the acting is...well, how can I put it? Was the entire cast hungover, or depressed, or what? The visual aspects of the opera (lighting, costumes, acting) turned me off so thoroughly that I could hardly focus at all on the music and singing. Mozart should sue.
Is the review positive or negative?
