Time-lapse of the stage set-up for the Flying Dutchman.

I should mention, if only to bring up old posts, that the Magic Flute will be here soon, and the set is that of Maurice Sendak, that Peculiar mentioned some time back. At least, so much of it as has survived Hurricane Wilma.

I have just learned that most of the set is to be burnt, since the hurricane turned it into a mycologist's wet dream.

Does anyone else find the phrase mycologist's wet dream more than a little unsettling? It sounds like a page of writing that H.P. Lovecraft decided should never see the light of day.

Pun intended!

I will have further words about the Flying Dutchman, probably ones beginning, "Another Bullshit Wagner/Nazi Staging".
