I can find nothing wrong with the capes, the ingresso of the Maestro and the players on the balconies... It's very baroque, this taste for excess and spectacularity

Rest in Peace, Montserrat Figueras...

@idraote I suppose it is very baroque in attitude, but it is commonly known that productions of the day possessed very different scenic designs from what is done here AND that the performers wore the latest fashions of the day. This is not very baroque when looking at the ACTUAL performance practice of the day. While this is spectacular and done quite well, it is far from accurate and people should know that. If the goal is to be accurate, then be accurate. If not, change the mission statement!
