Whatever you want.

The singing blew me away, although I couldn't really make out the words, you know how opera-style singing is like, and the subtitles were no help at all.
Ok, I should dwell on the good first. Set design was impressive, dance choreography was great too, I liked Kerabat's presence on stage, with his fellow dancers.
The bad- (my bad) realised how atrocious my Malay has become when I couldnt catch most of what the makciks are saying in one of the opening scenes.
M was not a strong enough performer, rather bland, and he's the title character! The story was not portrayed well either, if I had not read the synopsis I would not have understood half of the opera, artistically illiterate as I am. And the bane of the whole show-- the bloody subtitles. They were unresponsive and lingered too long on a few lines only, leaving the rest of the lines untranslated.The opera was done in English, Malay and the odd bit of Japanese btw. It's a shame really since it's a near world class performance,singing wise at least.
Despite the detractions, there was still a standing ovation and rousing applause for them in the end. Well received, then.Worth a watch, all Malaysian production wei!
