I like Goya so it was interesting to see all the visual references him but it didn't seem like there was much connection to the performance beyond permitting minimalist moody sets.

We noticed some of the singing chorus went shirtless as well, which made us wonder because finding people who can do both seems like it would take some planning. Now we want to see some backstage documentary which explains things like how one finds model quality dudes who can swing hammers on beat? How much do supernumeraries get paid? How many people are required for one night of opera (including the ushers, bartenders, the staff of the bistro)?
