It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: WSJ: 'Don Giovanni' Papered Over by Gehry

That's a pretty harsh review.

It sounds like they really wanted to do a fully staged opera but settled for whatever they could cram into the limited stage space.

IMO, in concert opera works best when you focus more on experimenting with the space -- taking advantage of the fact that you're not limited to having all the singers on stage all the time.

I also haven't heard too much about Dudamel as an opera conductor -- I wonder if this is why he has yet to make his debut at the Met.
