Opera music is not my bag but I look forward to seeing this on TV later.

On a tangent, the Friedrich promontory is on the Baltic island of Ruegen, which is fascinating for a number of reasons - last hold out of horse-worshipping pagans before crusading Danish bishops did for them, and, according to mad parahistorical theories, site of a German atom bomb test...

I'm not so keen on the music either, even less so on the incidental singing but some of the songs are OK. It's the whole spectacle that does it for me, although some might claim out the full frontal nudity in my first opera may have helped.
