But I do have a couple of questions and a couple of comments. First, what were the women's chorus costumes supposed to convey? They looked like abstracted nuns habits. It has been so long since I've seen a live production of MF I can't remember whether or not a women's chorus was ever on stage. It certainly is not in keeping with the masonic ritual and milieu of the temple. Secondly, as a fan of Julie Taymor's artistry, I was disappointed that she used so many visuals associated with other productions. Taymor fortunate to have such an agile and musically superb cast.
