Which opera is this?
Uncategorized
Meistersinger? No.
Peter Grumps? Also not.
I give in.
It’s Norwegian Opera’s new production of Shostakovich Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, which opened last night in Oslo.
Critic Erling E Gulbrandsen calls it: ‘An An extreme scene of devastating sex on top of a huge heap of slimy cod.’
That scene’s in the opera, fish ‘n’ all, if you will…Nice to see the Salvation Army getting involved, too.
Thanks, as ever, for no link nor review.
i googled it.. apparently they mean LITERALLY on a heap of slimy cod. Ewww.
A link to the production’s page on the official website of the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet:

There are also two video clips (one longer, one shorter) of the production. The opera is directed by the distinguished Norwegian theatre and film director, Ole Anders Tandberg.
Here the trailer of Lady Macbeth of Mzensk at Den Norske Opera in Oslo.
Enjoy it!
