Re: Opera in decline ?
Ralph Moore may care to note that I reviewed the video version of the same production in some detail on this site earlier this year, and made much the same observations on elements in the staging. At least the directorial excesses were not so egregious as to invalidate the whole experience; but it is depressing to think that the same errors of judgement are still being perpetrated in the theatre when they might so easily be obviated in the process of revival. Why are directors so resistant to second thoughts and reconsideration of elements that simply serve to undermine their achievement? Composers and performers regularly revisit their work as a matter of course following experience in the theatre and the concert hall.
