PARIS OPERA/L'OPÉRA (Jean-Stéphane Bron 2016)

A rich taste of the manifold wonders of the Opéra de Paris - which comprises two venues, but that is just one of many things that aren't really explained. Bron, who is Swiss, flits about too much. This lacks the determined focus of Fred Wiseman, who applied his treatment to the Paris Opera Ballet a few years ago, so we can compare methods. Everything here is interesting - except, to me, the use of a huge live bull in a Schoenberg opera production. But there needed to be more time on some and less or none on other topics, more follow-through, and more context provided.
