We need someone with experience taxi69 Yet for me some aspects worked. Downplaying the opera’s heroic tone meant the characters’ actions felt realistic. When Leonore and Florestan are finally united they sing a love duet. In this production, rather than gazing rapturously into one another’s eyes, they busy themselves with changing their clothes. Isn’t this embarrassment reflective of how a couple might actually react? When a string quartet was lowered in metal traps and playing the slow movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet Op132, it was a coup de theatre that verged on the plain silly. In the end I rather liked it – caged bird can still sing.
