The entire ensemble of this performance is absolutely homogeneous, which has to be a must with this opera. In addition to the great vocal performances, there is an enormous playfulness that is second to none. Just like Junbum Lee as Basilio, the ravishingly queer Master of Ceremony in this labyrinthine Wedding studio is sensational. Sebastian Ellrich's pink-tinted stage is as perfect a fit as Sandra Münchow's beautifully crafted costumes. This perfect coordination with the director, who is now in fact conjuring up a fantastic day on stage, ensures that the over-the-top comedy doesn't turn into slapstick
