The Handmaids Tale
Dissatisfied we left after first half with many others Good performers but depressing
Tedious
I couldn’t agree more with the above review Where was overture, the arias the contrast of tones Sorry not for me I left at the intermission
If you love the series - don’t do it
Hard watch, the opera is too much. No talking. It’s almost ruining how good the series is. Left half way through
Entertainment
A melodramatic, monotone of negativity. Part of going to an Opera is listening to beautiful music but this orchestra is about as exciting as hitting your head continously against a brick wall. I honestly can't understand why people like dark depressing themes without breakouts of intrigue, happiness or wit. What I think helps get you through to the interval is the imaginative stage design.
handmaids tale - terribly boring!
Was the most boring theatre experience I have ever been to - awful. Didn't want to go back in after the interval and my friend left 15 mins from the end. The problem is that there is no melody and the script is so excrutiatingly dull it will make you wish you could leave. Never seen so many empty seats after an interval.
Would rather have watched paint dry!
… at least paint drying isn’t accompanied by discordant noise. That coupled with no scenery, unimaginative selections from a brilliant story and a shrillness only matched in a battery hen house! Along with many others, left at the interval.
