If only all opera of 17th century opera can be this exciting and the staging so creatively realised! (PS: I’ve given other Cavalli, and the earlier Monteverdi a bash and it is just to dreary for words – “Poppea” is one of the exceptions IMO.)
I would buy this if it were to come out.
Normally I’m not a big fan of Regie, but the giant dancing Kewpie doll won me over.
okay, this look totally fab to me – it seems like updates and pop culture references have actual application to the piece – I’d like to see it.
With pieces like this that really did have a subtext that’s going to be utterly lost in performance if you do it straight (no one wants to read detailed program notes in order to even begin to understand a staging), updating like this is smart, and looks like a lot of fun.
It looks gorgeous, but I wonder how much time the designers spent in Amsterdam’s coffee shops prior to designing this. Ah, Amsterdam…. I had a great time there from what I can remember through the haze of smoke
I always get David and Chris confused.
Cassandra: To be fair, dear, you confuse a lot of people.
Okay, I usually am bored by any baroque opera, but this does indeed look like fun. I wonder if NYCO could import this.
LUCA!
Perhaps I am a philistine. I remember when I was younger and doing a large deal on a stack of new records I was buying cheap. I exclaimed to the dealer “Well if you chuck in the Cavalli turkey, its a deal” He did. I must investigate and listen to it to see if it really was. It is still on the shelves …..un-played!
