Los lectores del Daily Mail no son fans de la ópera abyecta y finisecular:
A fright at the opera: British tourists who paid £1,400 to watch 'world's most beautiful singer' Andrea Bocelli performing his hits in Italy complain after getting a 'boring' opera about an obscure poet instead
Citar:
The advert boasted that fans of Andrea Bocelli would be treated to a spectacular summer concert in the beautiful Tuscan countryside with the Italian singer and special guests. But a group of British tourists who [..] were expecting to see the likes of Ed Sheeran and Barbra Streisand on stage with the tenor – were left bitterly disappointed. Not only did Bocelli – who sings both popular songs and classical music – appear only fleetingly, but there were no other stars in the show.
[...]
On top of that, rather than the tenor’s greatest hits, the performance was an opera about an executed French poet that few of the audience had heard of.
[...]
‘We didn’t book to see an opera. I thought it would be like a concert at the O2 in London, where he performs his greatest hits with guests like Ed Sheeran. ‘When he did it in New York he had Barbra Streisand, so when it said special guests we expected stars.
‘If it was La Traviata or Verdi or something it would have been better, but it was a classical opera that no one knew anything about.
‘I watch some opera on TV and I like Pavarotti, but this was a full opera with wigs and heaving chests.
‘We couldn’t understand the transcript – it was all in Italian. We wouldn’t have paid all that money if it had been advertised as an opera. It’s like booking tickets to see the rugby and getting there and being greeted with a ballet.’
