You're wrong, really. I don't feel superior to anyone. I just won't pay 20 more tickets for the same Traviata (or Carmen, or Boheme) decors and costumes. I think opera has something to tell me about the world now, not just the way the world was when the opera was composed. Old-hashioned productions may be enticing the very frst time you see/hear an opera (and I insist on "may"). But seriously, will you see them again? If opera is still alive, it must find new ways to treat its repertoire. Or it will die with us.
