Index

The site is but six weeks old: and I’m writing more than I expected. (Mamet: “Either things matter, or they do not: if not, we may as well behave as if they do.”)  Version 2.0 will sport a proper index: meanwhile, here’s a roundup of recent thoughts on Reich downtown, and Xenakis uptown: a snapshot of my first opera class of the season: a new lyric; and a question of whether a high hurdle for new opera audiences is the singing.   This week: Joan and Bill at NYFOS: and the MET’s salute to Stratas at Town Hall.
