It was indeed! Not a season that many warmed to really. Though one night one of the smaller giant spiders they used broke which entertained me no end... Manon was another one that got mixed (extreme) reviews, and if I'd been a casual audience member the description would have put me off (she dies of thirst in a train station...and there were ahem incidents with a golf club) I do hope they checked none of the cast suffered from arachnophobia before hiring them! Manon seems to be cursed with ugly productions at the moment, the Met one that opened last week got pretty poor reviews too & looks horrible for the prod pics. I wish updating everything wasn't so popular in opera.

90% of the time I book before it opens and I never read reviews or comments until I've seen it - HATE spoilers
Last show booked based on word of mouth / reviews was the Clockmakers Daughter and that I truly loved
