Opera : Fall of the House of Usher

This was my very first opera. At first I thought it was going to be pretty neat, since there was a guy acting all agonizing over a letter. And then projectors started up, and all kinds of flashing computer animated pillars and trees and writhing women behind doors showed up on the stage. And then after thirty minutes of this I realized that there wasn't a set built for this opera, and the set was supposed to be in my imagination, and aided by the random flashing images. I think there were about twelve lines of lyrics throughout the whole thing, and mostly a screaming woman and then more flashing images.

Recommend? I left at intermission....
