Query: A hideous and repulsive travesty

Poor Bellini! Out of fashion for a century and rescued from near obscurity by thegenius of Maria Callas only to be trashed by this horror. What are we to make of Zimmerman's absurd production? Bellini in some sort of big-city office loft, the characters, the action at total odds with the romantic bel canto score, the opera reduced to near farce. It might have been saved by superior singing but even that's missing. It's almost as though the singers were wondering to themselves: "What the hell is this nonsense and why are we here!"Every operatic performance should be a tribute to the composer but in this case it's nothing more than an obeisance to the director and her obvious need to be seen asdaring, outrageous, and inventive. One can only shudder to think what she has in store for future opera performance (if any). Can we look forward to her Norma set in Detroit,a metaphor for inner city collapse? I wouldn't be surprised.
