I suppose it is revenge for Hip Hop.

I detect a little "Springtime for Hitler" syndrome here. A lot of people are going to take it as comedy.
And the chick with the toothbrush moustache and combover (but what's with the eye makeup?) is going to hyperextend her elbow if she isn't careful.
Those are the ugliest nudes I ever saw. Most people definitely should keep their clothes on.
I'll be there!
I'll be wearin' nuthin' but a Mickey Mouse mask!
Why doesn't this clymer Kresnik concern himself with Austria and the rest of Europe instead of worrying about what we're doing? You know he'll be one of the first to offer himself to his new Muslim masters.
I have totally stopped going to the opera. Here in Los Angeles, they adore these German existentialist directors, who put underpants on the singers and make political statements out of Mozart and Verdi.
At the last one I attended, when the director came out, I warned my husband and then I boo’ed loudly. A lot of people joined me.
The PR folks told me that ‘people just love our innovative settings.’ My friend, who sings in the chorus, said people hated them and there was ALWAYS booing.
What if you gave an opera and NOBODY comes...
If anything screams “Boycott Me” this does.
So it's a dem convention?
Ooooooh, aren’t they daring.
One man's treasure is another man's garbage.
Austrians have returned to their beloved Adolf Schicklegruber I see.
Damned Nazis and the millions of people they butchered.
Axis Sally and Lord Haw Haw would approve. So would Arafat’s Nazi uncle.
It is an established TRADITION. You will lose the established audience with such stunts and the novelty of it will wear off once the first time audience has seen it (and paid $75-150 a ticket).
In the end NEITHER audience will go and you have degenerated to staging a Vegas revue with hip hoppers, impersonators, showgirls, and dance numbers.
No wonder Hunter S. Thompson wrote that Circus Circus is what the whole world would look like if the Nazis had won the war.
Austrian, eh? Vanguardist, eh? One can only presume, then, that the Hitler figure will be played from the coprophile angle.

Am I reading this correctly? Do they plan to do this at Ground Zero? No, no, no,no,no. DO NOT let them desecrate this holy site. Someone tell me if this is true and if I am reading it correctly. I would be down there myself protesting and NOT letting them in there. To do something so vile at such a sacred venue is abominable. I must have misunderstood. I HOPE I misunderstood.
As for the dip heads that are naked...my GOD...please...go put your clothes on. MOST people need to keep their clothes on anyway. When you undress there is no one there to air brush out the fat, the wrinkles, the big guts and the b loging tummies and butts not to mention the sharpei look. Let’s face it...people look BETTER with clothes on.

Fom what I understand this type of crap is standard fare across Europe. One of the reasons directors get away with this are Opera Houses are heavily subsidized by the government. You keep on getting government checks even if you alienate most of your audience.
Sort of explains why Andre Rieu never has trouble getting an audience for his concerts. He actually plays classical music, along with some fun pop stuff, people want to hear and he wants the audience to have a good time. I have never heard him make a political statment in any of his concerts that are on TV.
Looks like they just don’t learn.
