Who designed those ugly sets? Why is it necessay to have the stupid dancing? Why do they keep lifting Amina up on their shoulders? Who produced this travesty? Now I truly believe that the Met is sliding downhill.

@jmuslvr Mary Zimmerman's production, Daniel Ostlig or something like that for the sets ^^

I loved the production, brava Nathalie. I saw her in Paris in 2006 as Lucia, one of the greatest experiences I've had in my life...

[Daguiherbis]

I keep coming back and watching this. I didn't care a whole lot for the paper tearing scene, but otherwise I really, really liked the production.... or maybe it was just Natalie's magic.

[jorgepda]

i would have to see the entire production to really make a judgment, but this video made me smile.

The first night crowd booed the production and Zimmerman didn't even take a bow. What's the difference between that and this evening's production, which got enthusiastic applause all through and a standing roar at the end. The difference is that the sort of people who make a point of attending first nights have a large number of people who want to be able to tell everyone who will listen what they saw and what they think about it. A bunch of shallow would be critics. I loved it.
