London, Washington, New York, and Temple Square: since last I wrote, John’s film has been recorded and mixed, we’ve finished all but the last mastering session on my first orchestral record, my concertino burgeons ahead of its June deadline, and Salt Lake City, via the University of Utah, has heard its first Little Women. (Syracuse’s opens next month, and now, we learn, Calgary gives the Canadian première next year.) It occurs to me that if I wait until I can hear more music-theatre to resume blogging, Mac may very have rolled out OS XX: Dozing Tabby: so I hope you’ll indulge me if the next few posts are more snapshots from the studio than dispatches from the aisle. Meanwhile, I hope you’ll join me and New York City Opera this weekend for the tenth anniversary of the indispensable VOX: Carlisle, Nico, and I will be speaking on a panel Saturday at noon at the Skirball, and Time Out fills in the background here.
