I have to agree that the visual choreography takes away from the enjoyment.
Weather it's the fellow playing F C d M (incidentally with some wrong notes and
rhythms) who looks like his dog just died, or Tatiana, who looks for all the
world like she is experiencing some sort of sexual
It is easy to talk about what is not liked,
any piece of art has some small detail which can be despised.
Tell us what you do like, which art satisfies your soul,
and we will know a lot about your taste, ideas and background.

To use this clip of Griselda as an example is comparing apples and
oranges: facial expressions are part of rhetorical expression and is
the responsibility of the singer acting the role he/she is
interpreting. It is entirely appropriate in the performance of a

Hi Leah
I have no objection to valid and truly-felt emotions showing up in the
countenance of a soprano singing a dramatic area. I feel that some performers
actually practice their emotions like a good actor - it rings false to me, no
matter how well-played the music, and detracts from the
