    Carmen - live streaming from ROH

    Just watched this at our local flea-pit.
    Music terrific. Production total drivel.

      So you liked all the people waving their hands around and doing silly things with their bodies the whole time? Carmen entering wearing a gorilla costume replete with pendulous mammaries? Getting up off the floor and winking to the audience having been stabbed?

      I'm not one of those old fuddy-duddies that pooh-poohs any creative production ideas. But this? The fact that a narrator was needed to fill in the story line...albeit in immaculate and easily understandable French...seemed quite bonkers.

      Over to you!

          It was absolute rot. No need to spend too much more time on it. And usually I like Kosky's work!

                It looks as if we need Slade Prison's Officer Barraclough to step in and act as a moderaor here......

                        It is still rubbish. I have tried to re-examine my view, but find it impossible to shift.

                        When is Herheim back at the ROH? Looking forward to seeing his Pelleas at Glynders.
