If there's one thing all the reviewers agreed on, it's that Calixto Bieito's new production of Platée is super-popular with Stuttgart operagoers.
Bieito has set Rameau's baroque comedy gem in a Studio 54 style temple of 70s hedonism, with the titular nymph (played by a man) an oddly Thatcheresque figure in a blue wrap dress.
It looks from the photos (more below) as if his trademark bare-all approach has given way to family-friendly oversized prosthetics - at least this time.
