How the hell did they manage to squeeze the huge Orchestra needed for this into that pit, or was it a reduced band?

[@crazyorganist1609]

That's the definitely the full orchestra required for this work

[@crazyorganist1609]

Absolutely stunning. The production is utterly ridiculous. Just perform the music without a big hoohs

[@rieske2000]

Music is epic but this is not an opera. I do not like that at all!

[@pieternooten]

back to the simplicity of pop music for you then.

[@rieske2000]

@@pieternooten That is a pretty stupid remark. The music is brilliant! But it is not opera as stated by Schoenberg himself. All these modern stagings are not adding anything for operas as well. So i will stay with Schoenberg and Puccini and Jazz for that matter and also the occasional pop song.

@@rieske2000 and I for one think tis is absolutely brilliant. I hope after my death people will desregard any remarks I made about my own works and keep innovating, reinterprating and reliving my art. It would sure be a dull world in which art would be performed again and again in the same way, in the same setting, in the same interpretation.

[@rieske2000]

@@semhak I do not care for that type of art. I just close my eyes and listen to the music.

[@semhak]

@@rieske2000 in that case, there's plenty of recordings of the piece already made, no need to have an issue with visual interpretations of the same work right?
