Has anyone else seen this?
What did you think of it?
I must say, I didn't think the production was all that wonderful....there's only so much symbolism you can extract from Soviet cosmonauts in Kazhakstan....when the opera is about the SEA...
And the sailors (cosmonauts) gang-raping the girls was completely inappropriate....
Having said this, I thought Terfel was wonderful...conveying the Dutchman's desperation and weariness even in the way he moved on the stage, the set of his shoulders...
