The production of Zeffirelli's "war horse" is beautiful but the overhead camera with the Busby Berkley effects is laughable and jarring. The technical feed was dreadful and this is the 2nd opera to experience these problems......Tosca being the first but this was the worst. Ramey was, as always, a pleasure, Poplavskaya was above average. Having seen Guleghina in Otello, I was wary about this performance and I was correct. Besides her wooden emoting on cue and then chewing up the scenery, would someone please tell her that diamond studs, a contemporary diamond ring and a french manicure are not appropriate accessories for this opera! She had the same long nails for Otello. Very distracting.
