| Sunday, December 14, 2003 Orpheo ed Euridice was okay. It lacked the "oomf" of the version I listen to. The conductor was weak. And what is with the LA Opera and these modernist, german set designers? Wow, it looks like a box... Cool, it's all white. Oooh, it's two trees. Nice, they're wearing suits... Oy. Give me a break. I wanna see hell here people! Not a black frame that comes down from the roof. The fire was good, but I couldnt see it from the balcony. And the chorus was weak too. This is baroque, people. Where's the ornateness?! Whatever, Gluck still rules. And Euridice is a very beautiful name. If I have a daughter, I will definitely consider it as a name... assuming my wife likes it. Wow, no wife - not even a girlfriend - and I'm whipped. So sad, so sad...
