ROLANDO GABRI Review of Saxon State Opera Dresden
To whom it may concern,
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to tell you that I attended this theatre on May 11 to see LE NOZZE DI FIGARO .
I know there is a trend to modernize opera versions which were written over 200 years ago, but I find it inappropriate to add scenes that are thought by the author or to modify the musical score, especially in such an important theatre as this one, that saw the performances of great stars like Karl Maria Von Weber, Richard Wagner, Richard Straus, to mention but a few. I think that if the stage manager and the orchestral director trust on their skills to modify a piece of art, they should create their own and see if theirs becomes as successful as Mozart s.
In my opinion, it would be more honest to advertise a free version of the opera in order not to lure unwary people like me, who in good faith wish to see the original piece.
Yours faithfully.
