The Met PR machine rolls on: I have in hand a press release for the upcoming Ring HD broadcasts calling it a "cutting-edge production" and a "landmark production."
Noooooo. It's a conservative, traditional, production with some projections and an expensive, noisy, unit set.
And Robert Lepage is called a "visionary." Noooo. Or if he is, he's not showing his vision very well.
I'm shocked that the guy keeps getting work. He's slated to direct The Tempest next season at the Met--which tempered my excitement upon hearing they were doing The Tempest.
ReplyDeleteIndeed - lots of eye-rolling for me over the Tempest, dammit.
ReplyDeleteAnd then he's purportedly slated to direct the rumored Met premiere of St. Francois d'Assise. Whey will it end?
