It's rare for me to blog about an
opera performance. I am more likely to discuss my thoughts over a pint, but so
much has been said about this production, often trying to fit comments into 140
characters, that I wanted to add my own personal response. There has been a lot
of controversy over this production: boos on the first night; critics of the
production; critics of the booers. There are parts of this production I like
and I think work really well. But there are also things I find frustrating,
often little things that could be easily fixed.
