It could be argued that the move emphasizes the ridiculous events that unfolded during the day, but because the final number, “Let Us All Forget and Forgive,” ties all knots neatly, it becomes unnecessary. If the applause given after the opera’s first performance is any indication, this DHO production is worth the ticket price. While the director’s interpretation of the opera was at times a little...
