just got called a communist in the comments under some opera blogger's post because I said I prefer traditional to modern productions. i mean sure. why not.
#like???????????????????
#i am honestly speechless lmao
#for context:
#it was a post reporting about the possibility of a certain Polish opera being performed at the Met in one of the future seasons
#in Treliński's production (operablr remember The Cage Incident in that one Don Carlo? yeah. that's the same guy).
#now the opera we're talking about is Halka. It's obviously never been performed at the Met before.
#And it's probably the most famous and significant Polish opera. It's full of folk themes and traditional Polish dances etc.
#It's an opera that gives so many opportunities for a beautiful colorful staging. With beautiful traditional costumes (not to be a patriot
#because im very much not. but ngl traditional Polish clothing especially from Podhale aka where Halka takes place is GORGEOUS)
#it basically takes place in the mountains so you could make some great scenography and just gaahhhhh it could be So Pretty.
#but obviously. Treliński's production is his classic monochromatic pseudointelectual bullshit which. i understand that some people like it
#not me. but it's ok. i simply said what i said above and that i think a colorful traditional production with Polish folk elements
#would be something new and fresh especially since it's (potentially) being performed at the Met in the US
#where this folk stuff is not really an everyday everpresent element of their culture.
#but. apparently. that is a 'communist anachronism' because Halka (which premiered in 1848) is a modern opera??? somehow???
#idk
#anyway i love Halka and im glad there's a possibility of the Met staging it even if the production is horrible.
#i just think it would be more fun for a typical American to see something new and pretty and colorful that will give some background
#for the music that has some strange elements when compared to your typical italian french or german opera
