Updating opera to the present day
doesn’t always work. Our lives are so different from the way people lived when
a lot of the most famous and best-loved operas were composed at least a hundred
years ago so understandably, it can be very difficult to set them in the
present day. I’m sure you’d also have big problems if you tried to set an opera
like Dr Atomic in the 19th century. Everything would just
seem wrong.
