BELOVED?

    According to the Star's preview of Arizona Opera's presentation of Verdi's Macbeth, "Revzen said the production sets a new standard for staging Verdi's most beloved opera." Does Arizona Opera general director Joel Revzen truly believe that Macbeth is "more beloved" than La Traviata, Aida or Rigoletto? Either the reporter misunderstood him, or I missed the paradigm shift.
