The visuals were fine. It was the story telling that was a bit opague.<br /><br />The venue is a newish venue is Sydney's casino, yes you read that correctly. It has good stage and back stage facilities (why it was chosen) and is used mainly for musicals, all miked and mixed - The Producers, Priscilla and the like.

The whole work for me is about the Lament and I find everything leading up to that discardable (which no doubt says more about me than it does about Purcell).<br /><br />The images aren't encouraging.
