The best account I’ve read of the events at the Metropolitan Opera’s season premier of Tosca last week is by the New Yorker’s Alex Ross. In Fiasco Mr. Ross fleshes out the details of the most negatively received aspects of Luc Bondy’s new production. He also expresses some optimism at the end, which I appreciate.
He also writes the blog The Rest is Noise if you don’t follow it already.
Can you imagine what the audience in Milan would have done?
