Do they give sensibly designed performances per the Met? I mean I'm not going to pay to see Cosi Fan Tutti performed in bondage gear or Nazi uniforms?

Thanks jrkob... Sounds like I should give them a go. Looked back through the past performances and clearly they are just about due for a Cav/Pag.
Thank you for the heads up Jrkob. I love Gounod's music, and have yet to see Puccini's Madame Butterfly. Otello, not so sure, plus I may have left HK by then. I was never a fan of the play, Otello ( acted in a segment during my senior school year for finals). I still regret missing the Barber of Seville ( saw at Sydney Opera House back in 2005) at La Scala last year when I all too briefly visited Milan.Original Post Deleted
