Naked people at the Opera

legacy0100says...

I think they were trying to create a visual spectacle that resembles a medieval tapestry for a couple's wedding. So it's not exactly an opera, but more of a wedding show. The theme is consistent as the performance takes place in a giant church, in front of what looks to be a map of the known world in medieval times. The choir sings in a Bulgarian Orthodox chant style (http://youtu.be/js2Ga92Ta14), again the theme of Medieval church.

So the theme is consistent, but still I'm having trouble getting the overall message. I see that there are two couples that are highlighted, so my guess is that the message is about 'relationships' or 'love'. At first the play starts in still motion and everything peaceful. Then it goes through various emotions. Pain, joy, excitement, turbulence, etc. This part may be eluding to what love or relationships are like. And finally, after the couples kiss, everyone breathes, and sighs, to signal that the craziness is over and we can now rest. At the moment of their kiss the cherubs of the world (probably their close friends) are stretching their arms towards them and blesses their unification.
