Ok. This opera is best described as opera on acid because there is no plot. It is like the mental break of a woman who killed her lover. The walls moved and flowed and she roamed around like a crazy person (no pun intended).
Pros: I found the visual performance to be quite enthralling and kept my attention the entire time.
Cons: Since there is no real story, just one woman singing the entire opera, it feels a bit like a weird monologue that you can't get out of seeing. It was also not as interesting musically especially compared with Bluebeard's Castle. The two operas were a fine fit in length but topically it was quite a stretch to see them together.
Must See Rating: **
There's no such thing as operetta!
