I was in the house for yesterday’s performance, the 3rd one I’ve seen in this run. I’ve liked it better each time I’ve seen it and while Guth takes the libretto much the way New Yorkers take traffic signals - they’re mere suggestions - he creates such a compelling version that it works. I’m still puzzling over the ending. I want her to be following Jochanaan’s instruction to go to the desert to seek the Son of Man, but I’m not sure that’s what’s happening.
