slow-motion (fight?) sequence at the end of Act 1. I know every production reinterprets the work slightly differently but has this always been part of the opera and if so what is happening? Act 1 ended with the cast laughing at the audience as the curtain came down. If someone with a better understanding of the plot could add a sentence or two just explaining what is happening that would be wonderful.
