I thought Mr. Sher's "L'Elisir" in spite of its retro look, showed the characters and their relationships in a more interesting light; I certainly enjoyed it more than before. Maybe it's only because of years of that cutesy previous production with its candy colors and soubrettish heroines and grimacing and mugging heroes (Big Lucy)... On the other hand, Sher's "Hoffmann" is just about the worst production  currently in the Met rep. As for Eyre, I thought his Werther was quite pretty looking, though with some eccentricities in the direction. Otherwise, meh. Haven't seen the Manon L. yet... doesn't look promising.
