Good Points: Professional Opera singers! The music is so beautiful, and the words are so vulgar. It's definitely shocking!

Bad Points: It's over 2 hours, some people may not like this.

General comments: I have the album, imported from the UK to the US. I've seen this production 5 times, including once in London. This opera is such a great modern work, the words, lyrics, jokes, and theme are amazing. This opera is critical of everything: the host, audience, guests, religion, and some special surprises (I don't want to give away spoilers). Be prepared to laugh out loud!
