Query: From an opera lover

This DVD recording is a disgrace! The exceptionally well played and sung beautiful melodies of Offenbach are "visualized" by horribly perverse and morbid events on stage. The whole play is twisted,all the original ideas are taken out and replaced by meaningless and tasteless decadent stupidities.And all this in the name of "modern opera staging".If you like conventional or even reasonably and tastefully modernized 19th century opera, don't even touch this title. I hope that some recognized record company will soon release a proper and enjoyable version of this lovely opera.Ivan Fenyves (65)Johannesburg - Republic of South Africa
