yes, there is such a thing as bad publicity
You have to hand it to Gérard Mortier: he manages to get press coverage in most unexpected places!

Caro Cieca, how on earth do you find this stuff.
I notice down a ways on the right side there is an advertisement for a calendar? video? called BARELY WORKING MEN.
Why doesn’t NYCO commission an opera about, oh, say, the experiences of the photographer as he was shooting the photos. That would give Tommasini something to write about!
re an Glass opera about Uncle Walt, who hated unions and commies and lots more. What would a Minimalist aria of Whistle While You Work sound like? And who could sing the role of Annette?
I guess we’ll just have to wait…for moths and moths and moths on end…
I’m with Melissa on that site – ‘I’d rather receive paper cuts to my eyeballs’ than ever sit through another Glass opera again. Four chords in 45 minutes of Satytagraha Act 1 was more than modulation-loving flesh can stand.
Yes, the thought of Philip Glass setting “Forever let us hold our banner high, high, high, high!” is terrifying.
I wonder if there will be a Spin and Marty sequence?
Will Mortier be coming back from Tokyo to infect pople with this stupidezza?
I sent the the tip after reading the news on this cite…he he…
…I think Mortier owes me one.
One thing is certain about the recent high-profile opera comissions. Works like The Fly, An Inconvenient Truth, Brokeback Mountain and now the Disney opera are getting mentioned in mainstream media. I don’t know how that publicity translates into ticket sales but opera is steadily becoming more and more hip.
Every time you link to Perez Hilton, a kitten dies.
I think La Perez wants to appear as tinkerbelle. Hopefully that will be a non-singing part.
Houston tried something about Marilyn Monroe, which disappeared instantly. Jerry Springer–The Opera still gets mentioned from time to time. Will the upcoming Harvey Milk movie inspire any company to revive the Harvey Milk opera?
