Title: Good performance - bad opera
Review: This opera has pretty good singing and that's pretty much all. The sets and cosumes are just Eurotrash and the opera itself has little plot and even less interest. The music is Rimsky Korsakov at his most mechanical and even the orchestration disappoints --- which is unusual for this composer. Unless you enjoy watching a group of stupid drunks stumble around and hit one another, it is simply not worth watching.
