I was expecting a little more ambiguity, maybe I have been watching too much Regie lately hehe :D<br />Interestingly enough I think the rotating set actually adds to the claustrophobic element. <br />Agree about the singers, especially Bickley's Mrs Grose and Spence's Quint. Persson is a surprisingly good Governess, but I'm spoiled by Delunsch's badass singing and acting in the final scene.huyphucxyznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949086046279498177.post-41546547439833939442011-08-21T21:50:51.318+02:002011-08-21T21:50:51.318+02:00This opera is absolutely wonderful in every way yo...This opera is absolutely wonderful in every way you look at it! <br /><br />The production is OK, although the claustrophobic element was totally missing. Interesting that Kent has let the "ghosts" touch the kids. The ending was somewhat too implicit, but all in all I thought this was a very fine production -- if not a tad too polished.<br /><br />I liked all the singers...

I just finished watching act I, and not too impressed with her (weak and shrill high notes).<br /><br />Very surprised by Mrs. Grose's great singing though (sorry, don't know the singer's name).<br /><br />Miles is very good too.<br /><br />I enjoyed Spence's colorful singing as well.<br /> <br /><br />Thanks for the heads up. I almost forgot the broadcast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
