Nice to know the Met is going to rid itself of its wooden, lousy production of Don Giovanni. Marthe Keller's production I saw about ten days after it opened in the house was much, much better. When then can the Met get rid of their even more shitty Nozze di Figaro production? Either bring back the Jonathan Miller production or bring in Chris Alden. I have my doubts about Ivo van den Hove, though he is gifted and has a few ideas. There is no doubt about that. A Hedda Gabler, not an opera, staged by him, had the pretentious quality he knows how to be more radical - by adding in excessive melodrama - than the playwright. One thing he got wrong among maybe several things and it ruined the final scene of the play.
