Could it be that nearly 400 years ago (when this was written) sensibilities were different than today's? Ya think?
-
The music is great - the production is silly and immature.
-
Too slow for my liking.
-
@LazlosPlane Ah, but Rameau is both fun and beautiful, especially this production.

@MegaNight666 *thumbs up*

@Boywander2001 Entertainment yes, all opera should entertain on some level or another, as this does wonderfully. But NOT everything need be "fun." A very over used word from the 60's. No, sometimes things that are tragic, poignant or touching are beautiful, too, and may not necessarily be fun. We go to the circus for "fun." We hear Khovanschina to be moved to tears.

not Rameau - rather, whomever was behind this misguided production!

try a couple prunes with your next meal, sister - constipation's a bitch!

@ bernard:
cultural insensitivity? Apparently , you have no Idea of the history of western Europe; this is typical of PSUEDO-OPERA buffs like yourself who have nothing better to do but critique others without contextualizing their arguments...
And who the fuck are YOU to dictate what is a quality performance and what is not? Do YOU have a performance of your own to compare with this one huh? You fucking loser!

Rameau wasn't being culturally insensitive, this was just the typical Baroque mind frame when it came to anyone who wasn't white European. People were called "les indes" if they were from Turkey, Peru, any exotic place. And in this entree, Rameau is portraying a Frenchman and a Spaniard in the most stereotypical way (the Frenchman is flirtatious, unfaithful, the Spaniard is passionate, jealous). Zima chooses Adorio to be her love instead of the Europeans. Research before jumping to conclusions!

After just having seen a rather lifeless Castor & Pollux in Amsterdam, this is how Rameau operas
should be performed, Mr. Audí. After all opera should be fun and entertainment as well!
