I see that the term "Eurotrash" hits a bit uncomfortably close to the truth for you! By all means, enjoy your Valencia Ring DVD - I enjoy my Valencia "Götterdämmerung" blu-ray - especially when I remember to turn off the video! ;-) In your heart, you know I'm right!
No one expects opera to exist as mimicry in amber (in any case, a false characterization on your part) - but I do expect for producers to have a modicum of respect for the original creators, who are orders of magnitude more significant artists than the little worm Eurotrash producers of today!
(BTW, Next time, you'll want to say, "hear hear!" - which originated in the British parliament in the 18th century as a contraction of 'hear him, hear him'.)
p.s.: I'm hoping my wife can finish her review of the Dudamel/LA "Don Giovanni" by tomorrow night - I may provide my own commentary to her review too. Her post will be fair game for others here too! ;-)
