Opera streaming

[cahn]

Everyone knows the Met and other opera companies are streaming opera free right now, right?

Tonight the Met is streaming Eugene Onegin, so everyone should watch it and then report back to me :)

(In two weeks the Met will be streaming their Don Carlo. Just Saying :P )

Noooooo, why? D: Once an opera production is described as "surrealistic" I'm pretty certain not to like it.

WHY INDEED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsEujPMgH2I (the singing is great! altho Erwin Schrott is singing an octave above his lowest notes. But DOROTHEA ROSCHMANN! -- BUT WHY is Leporello handing him a can of malt liquor? at "Eccellente marzimino"??)

I'm old school so I blame Joseph Papp. Well, my parents lived in NYC about when he started his re-imaginings of Shakespeare (my dad was involved in the production of Charles Gordone's No Place to Be Somebody) so they blamed Joseph Papp.
