You are right that this is a great work. I have seen this production of Opera Stabile (Staatsoper Hamburg). It was performed in a small showroom and the orchester had been reduced to 4 (!) instruments.! As far as I can remember, it was an approach to present the story in a modern way. It still remains debatable how much such experiments are worth or if they really destroy the work. My opinion is that it depends on the intelligence of the stage director and the smartness of the conception.
A rather amateurish production of a great work. Too bad! Dr. K
