This production goes really far into burlesque, but, in a way, so did the original libretto, if you put it into the context of its specific time period. What is far more debatable are the cuts in the musican score, including a magnificent finale/ensemble that should have taken place right after the pope's death threat.
What an incredible performance staging! This is the boldest and most expressive and creative presentation of any opera ever shown.....
Star wars??

too bad it's so full of eurotrash gimmicks. does a disservice to a terrific opera and a really good performance
What a joke.
The production looks like a gay cabaret revue ! Berlioz , and the opera going public deserve better !
