| Kwiecien and Breslik in Munich- More (implied) sex; fewer leaves. |
So, I just chatted with
My Uncle (now that Dad has passed on, we'll be hearing more about My Uncle, who
is My Dad's younger brother). My Uncle loves opera, choral music, and music in general. He has a
beautiful voice, plays piano wonderfully by ear (doesn't read a note of music),
and has a rather surreal sense of humor.
He and my cousins saw Eugene Onegin at
the Lyric Opera of Chicago last week. Lyric has a pretty stellar cast (Mariusz
Kwiecien, Charles Castronovo, Anna Maria Martinez), and the old Met version:
Robert Carsen's production with the leaves. My Chicago relatives are not fond
of the "new" productions. They prefer rich costuming and scenery to
look at as they take in the lovely singing.
My Uncle's neighbor (a retired music professor) asked how they enjoyed the performance (she happened to attend the same one).
My Uncle said, "I'd like to see more sets."
"More sex?!?!" she asked.
"Well, that too," he added.
I guess it just depends on which production you see. Hopefully they'll see more sex in Carmen.
