I'm considering the issue solely from
the point of view of the music. Music is sound.
The part of performance that is perceived that is not sound
by definition cannot be music. The part of performance that
you take in with eyes (and thus, the costume, the face
paint, the light shows, the giant videos) is not music.
I am not criticizing performance, nor even commenting on
performance. I am solely addressing the "musician"
part of Maria Callas' comment "what constitutes a "serious"
artistic musician".
