Messel was well worth the lengthy dickering. His Figaro contains some of the most elegant, beautiful sets and costumes ever seen on the Metropolitan stage. Unfortunately, however, Messel's scenery was designed for an earlier production at Glyndebourne and has merely been adapted to the Metropolitan stage.
