When we watch an artists' opera we need to think about:
- who is the artist?
- where is the work be showned?
- Is the work made for the place, is that specific?
- what the artist say the work is about?
- as the artist have take many risk with this art?
- what the artist said about the work process?
- what they think about the work?
