Surprising as it may sound, it was my first time to see this opera live and in its entirety, and needless to say, I was super-excited. Who are you kidding – I even wore my brand new hoop earrings and a killer hair style for the occasion.
What can I tell you, my friends? With all due respect to Mozart, I have heard better structured and much catchier Mozart’s operas.
With all due respect to Da Ponte, come on now – a fiancé swap? Not to sound like a prude or anything, but has anyone ever thought about morals here?
As for the production itself, my review has just appeared on Bachtrack’s front page, http://www.bachtrack.com/ Just click on the picture of two very contemporarily attired Dorabella and Fioridilgi and read my outside the box-written review.
