Query: Beautiful singing...awful production

Once again Robert Carsen has ruined a beautiful opera with his minimalist and awful staging. Why anyone would want to view any opera he is involved in (whether on video or live in the opera house) is beyond me. He has ruined the Rusalka (with Fleming and other fine singers). The action there seemed to take place in a Motel 6 bedroom (including the final scene which is supposed to take place at a lake in the forest!). The MET's recent production of Eugene Onegin was beautifully sung by all the principals, but Carsen's staging made it a bore and a disaster. Too many fall leaves on the set! I had to turn off the TV...I couldn't stand to watch any more of the nonsense.I won't buy anything else he is involved in nor will I attend any operas in which he is the stage director.
