@daretobetheweirdo As I said, you know FUCK ALL. Do you know any of Sellars's work? Do you realise he WROTE THE LIBRETTO, fucktard??????????????

[daretobetheweirdo]

@MoscowMaestro If you want to know, I think it's highly fallacious to believe connect the exclusion of Peter Sellars and Oppenheimer's actions as cause and effect. I highly doubt that the exclusion of Sellars was anything close to the reason you've suggested. It is quite possible that Sellars declined to direct.

@daretobetheweirdo You learned NOTHING you worthless sack of SCUM.

[daretobetheweirdo]

Hellow Everyone. @MoscowMaestro wanted me to clarify, I LEARNED THE TREBLE CLEF! :D

what were we talking about again?

[MoscowMaestro]

@daretobetheweirdo Let us know when you learn the treble clef, huh? Because you know NOTHING. NOTHING.

[daretobetheweirdo]

@MoscowMaestro shut up

[MoscowMaestro]

This production is considerably worse than the Netherlands Opera staging - which was directed by the opera's librettist, Peter Sellars. You have to ask why Sellars was excluded from the NY production? Could it be because they needed to soften-off the negative aspects of what Oppenheimer did?
