A concert-hall performance , without stage action in the bare environment of a modern concert hall, Homegenous wooden walls in relief, the sort of insipid memorial hall decor which neither offends nor inspires no-one. Even the people who are dressed smartly lack 'eclat' in this flat setting, because it is an Opera but not the Opera.and therein is a great difference. The seating besides gives no encouragement to the great sport of people-watching. So the atmosphere is altogether more academic than the Marinsky prorpre.
Isole was a died blonde prima-donna, appearing in a long Operatic black dress, blood-red for the secind act and black widow lace for the third. She acted nonetheless, with prima donna guestures.
