It was the most memorable production of a Verdi opera to me. <br /><br />To the second one, big thanks for that note. I wouldn't be surprised Warlikowski thought about it too. He actually produced Macbeth [the "true" one, not an opera ;)] in Hamburg so I believe he's studied it in great detail. In an interview he said he matured since that Macbeth in Hamburg...<br /><br />To the third: With all due respect I cannot disagree more. Everything in this production is used to support the dramatic action, to give it a unique appearance and make a show the best theater can give you anywhere in the world -- which in an opera is VERY rarely (never!?) the case. But hey, it's good to disagree too :)<br /><br /><br />To the fourth: Broadly I agree with that attitude in which video changes the real theater. Warlikowski uses video as video art and it's fully used to support the dramatic action. It never replaces it! It's easy to dislike Warlikowski's production on the first sight because they are different and often disturbing -- they don't entertain you as much as they challenge you. But if you scrape beneath the surface it's the whole new theatrical world that opens up in front of you. <br /><br />I believe that this is the only clean way how the live theater can survive the rapidly developing technology... but that's another topic ;)Opera Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940773671378765685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-68313796175165786462010-06-15T19:46:37.243+02:002010-06-15T19:46:37.243+02:00Warlokoski ;).

Warlokoski abuses the video and brings up topics that do not have any relation with the opera or with the line he is trying to develop(the video distracting- dance). Why this desrespect to those small kids who are asked to act as prostitutes(first act)? Is he wants to talk about innocence, the first place to start it is by respecting the innocence of his own participants, these small kids! Just looking at all means to be known and to be recognised.

But Macbeth often remarks on how he is childless- at the start of Act 3, for example. Shakespeare's own son died, and at the time infant mortality was the norm. Warlokowski knows his Shakespeare, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was thinking of this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-65912000776153347242010-06-14T18:10:28.783+02:002010-06-14T18:10:28.783+02:00Thank you so much for this review, which makes me ...Thank you so much for this review, which makes me even more impatient (if possible) to be there on the 27.
