  • The singing itself is supposedly excellent, from both Dessay and Florez. Unfortunately, its in a sausage casing of shit.

  • "Was there a specific reason for booing the producer?"

    Not really. Only that she had vandalized and made a mockery of the opera that had been entrusted to her care and presented a production of staggering incompetence and incoherence. Other than that, no reason at all.

  • God!! The You Tube trolls are out in force. I liked it a lot. But trolls like making a stink even more.

  • It certainly looked like fun. Problem is no action matched word. It'd be a great production if it was written for the correct opera or play. But this was definitely not Sonnambula.

  • Oh, boy. I feel sorry for people who hated this. I had such a lot fun. I especially loved the end of the first act.

  • Had I been there I would have thrown rotten tomatoes to her face!!!

  • They didn't care about Zimmerman, they went to see Dessay and Florez and to see this great Bellini opera which isn't done too often.

  • Destroyed?!

    Well, there was some nonsenses, and it is definitely not the best thing she's done in all her career, but you totally overeact. She didn't destroyed the opera.

    I can't stand people who talk about other people's work without any respect.

  • I think that Juan Diego did a great job too! It's funny, if you watch the opera, it's a wreck. But if you just listen to the live broadcast; beautiful!

  • don't agree. I saw other live broadcast... and this was not just for the live broadcast....

  • I was at the actual performance on saturday, and you could tell that the performers were just milking the call since it was the live broadcast.

  • Sorry to disappoint everybody but we were four of us watching it this Saturday and we found absolutely fantastic. Well, Zimmerman was not there but the curtain call toooooooooook a long time.
