  • Captures the essence of the entire opera.  Brilliant conception.

  • what. the. frak.

  • @thallassocracy Low notes...? The timbro il of a baritone. No comments regarding the diction.

  • You can't actually put a baby on stage:- he wouldn't be able to hit the low notes.

    This is the next best thing - Monteverdi would have loved the idea.

  • I know L'Umana is Fragilità but this one is rather underpowered, no? That said, cool staging!

  • very good stage! but the voices.... well... la fortuna is a good voice, but the others aren't!

  • It's strange, but why not?
