Eine Nacht an der Oper

I heard about THIS today, and would love to attend it. The only thing that sounds slightly stupid about it is that the chorus are costumed as ...US historical figures?
If Orfeo ed Euridice were not based on ancient Greek legend, and written by Gluck (an Austrian) with Italian and French influence, and were not an Opera (which is a beautiful thing), I still doubt I would approve. It sounds like a Thanksgiving play at a nursery school. For the designer's sake, I hope it looks something better than one.


Things like that make me questions my -isms. Classic-, Traditional-, Romantic-.....
I always thought I was a romantic.
