Original sentence: In recent years, the appointment of "celebrity" directors (often from film or other branches of theatre),  who do not appear to have learned the specific requirements of opera direction including, in some cases, those who have flaunted their inability to read music, and who seem to be unable to psychologically direct singers behind unreflected Regietheater clichés (often involving gratuitous shock elements), has led to a general misapprehension of the Regietheater term by both theatres and critics.More and more, however, critics distinguish between "proper" application of Regietheater principles, and the gratuitous use of misunderstood Regietheater stereotypes.Opponents will accuse such producers of shallowness, crudity, sensationalism, lack of real creativity, insensitivity to the richness of the original setting, neglect of the role played by the music, and of pandering to the appetites of ephemeral journalism.Supporters of Regietheater will insist that works from earlier centuries not only permit but even demand to be re-invented in ways that not only fit the contemporary Zeitgeist but even strive to connect them with situations and locations of which the original composers and librettists could not have conceived, thus setting the story into a context the contemporary audience can relate to
