Well, the first thing you notice about the Royal Opera's production of Die Frau ohne Schatten (a co-production with la Scala, Milan) is that it is long, very long! Not, Wagner - but not far off! <<http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/die-frau-ohne-schatten-by-claus-guth>>
It's all a bit confusing - missing shadows, unborn children, spirit messengers - and that's just for starters. At the end of the day it's best to just go with the flow and watch in confusion and listen to some marvellous singing. The whole cast was very strong and the orchestra at full throttle.
I enjoyed it as an experience, but I won't go to any revivals!
