Thanks to the YouTuber
who posted the opening sequence from last year's Salzburg revival/reworking of
Sven-Eric Bechtolf's "don't drink the blue (in this case green) kool-aid" Cosi. Maestro von
Eschenbach received generally bad reviews for this performance, but this bit seems to go
well. (Note that the action begins before the overture ends.)
Speaking of the blue kool-aid, I notice there is more byplay with
beverages in this opening scene than before. There seems to be some foreshadowing that Alfonso is gonna get it this time.
Also note the nightgown exchange...already the boys are having trouble remembering which sister is his girlfriend. I must find the rest of this broadcast!
