This looks like such a beautiful production; the costumes are especially gorgeous! And the mirrors on stage are a great idea-- gives the multi-faceted opera a multi-faceted visual. :) Since you're going to see this, are you planning on videoing anything? Hint, hint... :D

P.S. I was surprised at how low Schwanewilms's speaking voice is. o.O

@HM0880 Hint taken, I'll try to sneak out the camera :D

One of the best productions I've seen so far. The singers throughout excellent (with exeption of Ofelia Sala who lacks of basic german pronunciation skills and has an exagerated vibrato). Highly recommendable

@Zimtschaefchen Yeah, on the 19th! I agree about Spanish, I do love this language very much, and had the same thought about Sala :)) I can't to be in Madrid. I'll have to revise my Spanish tho...
