The same show was killing the Paris Opera in December 2009, and received the famously accurate review in FT which explicitly mentions the director's staggering incompetence and bad taste.
Especially the finale leaves you speechless!

Andrea Chenier to hit Madrid too [we commiserate]
I just realized that Teatro Real will premiere this Saturday the history biggest dust-in-the-eyes-production of Andrea Chenier, a.k.a. poo-poor taste verismo. The only interesting detail about this production is that it counts ~180 wigs and ~300 very kitchy costumes, the purpose of which is completely unrelated to any of the clumsily staged dramatic action.
