Let's see: I've seen productions in Munich (many), Salzburg, Vienna, Berlin, Covent Garden, Rome, LaScala, the Met (twice), L.A. and San Francisco. Everyone in the ticket line, or seated near me, whom I bothered to ask had never seen that nite's opera before.
I know no one other than critics and a few extremely bored operaphiles who spend big money just because they have to see some new production. Like most people I want great conducting, fine orchestral playing, and above all, great singing. Productions are unimportant unless they interfere with getting the story across, as happens so often now with Wagner (you really want the Dutchman to be gay, Sachs a pedophile, or similar outlandish stuff? Be my guest.)
