Query: Ruined by poor staging

Great, great performance - singing, acting, conducting - marred and denigrated by an absolutely unforgivable production and set design. Reminds one of a high school low budget production - at the Met! "Minimalist" it might be - but since was this something for Pushkin's Russia? It's painful to watch, and the performance breaks your heart in more ways than one.
