SFMike, Brazil allusion clarified a bit. Where were you? I did not see you in the standing room, I did look though.

Macbeth was a tragedy.... It was absolutely horrible. So bad that I actually left at intermission - with premium orchestra seats, it must have been really bad. So bad that I may not renew my subscription next year if this is what it goes for. Lady Macbeth was off key, people around me were complaining and thought it needed weeks more in preview. Macbeth (the role) was very good and Blancquo was passable, but the set design and that ridiculous typewriter didn't fit at all. Dont go!!! save your money!! save yourself!!

Thank you for finally explaining the typewriter. "Brazil" allusion? Works for me. And poor Ms. Lukacs seems to have sung one too many Abigailles and Turandots. Verdi asked for an "ugly" sound for Lady Macbeth, but not totally off-pitch all night.
