I wish there was a possibility to write reviews of actual performances on the ROH website but there isn't. Yesterday, I saw there a remarkably horrid staging of Samson et Dalila. I had the misfortune to go to this performance without having read the reviews or seen the horrid pictures first. I only went because of Garanca but I wish I had not. No singing can compensate for what I had to endure. The staging was ghastly and disgusting. Ugly set, ugly costumes, pathetic director (Richard Jones) who is unlikely to ever achieve mediocrity. I felt as if I had been transported to some horrid German site of Regietheater. Why does ROH insists on staging such garbage? What's the point in inviting star singers if you have junk 'creatives' with no talent, taste, or respect for classical masterpieces?
