I went to the last night last night, if you know what I mean.
The first Rameau I've seen live. I did my homework listening to the Farncombe recording (and the liner notes cropped up in the ENO programme.)
The production has been slated by some, but I was generally impressed. Unlike some "radical" productions, I could see the point of enough of the conceits to trust the director that he had some reason for what he was doing even if I didn't get it.
Any other reactions?
Musically it was wonderful.
