Are you guys in Chicago responsible for that too! I don't remember if the Met is doing DA this year but they did it last year. I listened to it for about four minutes.
I have a general rule not to attend any performance unless the composer has been dead for a hundred years or so. It's not that I deny the possibility of something good being composed today, but the filter of time has a way of getting rid of the DAs.

If I remember correctly, it’s San Fransisco that inflicted that opera on the rest of us.
Have you ever seen “Nixon in China”? Houston Opera was running that the same season with the “Turandot” I saw, but I couldn’t get off work (to drive to Houston from San Antonio).
