We were supposed to be dining together tonight, weren’t we, Sparrer?
Why do I have this strange feeling of having dodged a bullet? ;- )

And get that adjectival parrot out of the bluddy microwave!
No, this is a real thing, on the phone just now. She seems to feel the microwave is prime nesting real estate. Bloody Spring…

We seem to have drifted rather off topic. I’m still wondering what exactly poor Lulu could have done to attract such opprobrium…

No clearing up to be done, Sparrer. I threw it all into the garden and set fire to it, for Hygiene The small greenhouse went as well; but I never really liked it.

Who knew Alan Rickman had such a voice ? & in fluent German too !

The male dancer left alone to dance on stage left … was he interpreting for the deaf ?
Makes you proud the Opera receives such state backing.

The curse of egomaniac producers who insist on their vision at the expense of that of the dramatist/composer…
Lulu is quite shocking enough as it stands - it really doesn’t need to be fecked around with to be “relevant” [shudder]. Berg’s own ideas for staging are quite explicit - after all, he knew the original Wedekind plays intimately, having been among the invited audience of their première as a double bill. Since he prepared the libretto himself, it’s fairly clear it’s what he (and no doubt Wedekind) wanted.
