NOTE JANUARY 2025: NEIL GAIMAN IS AN ABUSER, I WROTE THIS PIECE FAR BEFORE ANYONE KNEW. PLEASE READ THE SIDE OF NEIL GAIMAN HIS FANS NEVER SAW, BY LAUREN STARKE (TRIGGER WARNINGS APPLY)
Honestly these production photos are everything I could have hoped for. Unlike Giles Cadle's

there is no competition.
Now if only Operahaus Zurich could film this production for DVD (please!)
