A Trenchant Commentary On Konzept Regietheater

Whoever posted this video to YouTube seems to have missed the point of this trenchant (and hilarious) Backa Teater (Gothenburg, Sweden) production of Carmen entirely.

Clearly, this production was done to skewer today's pervasive Konzept Regietheater (i.e., Eurotrash) opera productions, those who relish them, and all those responsible for conceiving, participating in, and producing them.

And a splendid job the Backa Teater theater company made of it, too.
