Not really. The 'hotel' issue was an odd sidebar, as the text of the show is very clear in the sense of 'hotel' where one accomodates tourists. Just as when Rigoletto opens the bag and find the body of his dead daughter, the text and stage directions says this seen is done in moonlight - which in John Dexter's old Met production was done in Bright sunlight. Which made hash of the whole scene. Maybe rewrite the text first.
And fairy tales/folk tales have great internal logic. Thats why the last 100s of years |
