A new Augsburg production of Il Viaggio a Reims by the former soprano Stefania Bonfadelli is set on a tennis court, ho-ho.

Looks like a double-fault from here.

    Perhaps inspired by the Lucerne production of La Cenerentola which was set around a ping-pong tournament in 1950s Brooklyn. It was quite wonderful.

  • Gary Freer says:

    A back handed compliment if ever I heard one

  • Imbrod says:

    Den Norske Opera once staged Lohengrin in a caravan camping park, Elsa fetchingly dressed in tennis whites and Heinrich enthroned on the scorer’s chair.

  • Warrick Snowball says:

    Is there any point in making a comment?
