Updating Patience

There has been a lot of discussion on Savoynet about updating Patience.
I did see an "updated" flower-power sort of Patience with brightly colored sets in about 1967 or 68 at Ohio State. It was not very successful because the gyrations of the dancing simply did not go with the music. And the characters just weren't much fun.
It is my impression that the forthcoming Victorian opera production will be quite traditional.

Except perhaps for the Aardvarks!
