This is an opretta version of Orwell's 1984. Love it.

The music really isn't that bad. At least it's not atonal. And she's just the cutest thing, reminds me of Beulah Balbricker :)

I love this! i love the glimpse we are getting of this character! almost like an evil dictators right-hand-man. she is so evil and knows she has control. I wish I could see the whole opera and witness the character develop. what is this???

There are just some fantastic moments in this piece. I'll try to explain and maybe people will understand that this isn't just "noise".
Some cool parts:
1:35-1:50 Clear imitation between The orchestra (citizens) and soprano (in dialogue.) Interesting wave construction, fantastic drop of orchestra. Note the use of repeated notes throughout the piece and relation to final cadence.
Perhaps my favorite: 3:30-3:45 which gives the melodic material that is used in the "modern march" that follows.
While I respect personal opinion, to call the music horrible is pretty ignorant. Just because you don't personally understand the music doesn't mean you should bash it.
I enjoy it. It's not even that out there, you can pretty much hear everything going on.

WOW amazing singing and physical flexibility I love Diana Damrau. I have never seen an opera singer do a split before.
