I don't understand why the Met needs a new Traviata. The Willie Decker one is just a few years old, is very easy to revive (no expensive rehearsal overtime needed) AND is an iconic production. Making a new, more naturalistic staging would be a step back. Pushing the Met away from Gelb's desire to make new productions more theatrically enganging.
