The production also reflects Brook's distaste for conventional Bizet, which goes back to the time, 30 years ago, when he was production chief at London's Royal Opera House. "I looked with horror at how it was being presented. It had become a mausoleum." Controversy is nothing new for the flamboyant British-born director.
