The singers seem to be an afterthought, as the sets dominate everything. Some recent Met intrusions in LUCIA and WOZZECK have made the music seem like background music or nonsense. There was a play The Ride Across Lake Constance at Lincoln Center too.
How many people can attend these performances? Also, is this one of those festivals where you have to buy tickets years in advance?
Did the Queen of the Night (Lake) sue the Festival ? When the fog or mist move in, it could be a very perilous stage. Are the singers miked ?
