Which opera company that apparently still exists has sent out a casting call for no fewer than 40 supernumeraries to appear naked in an work whose title, ironically, includes a part of the body that is generally not concealed anyway?

The clue is obviously in the wording “in an work” Let’s see… operas by Anne work?
Let us not forget Kneeno Machaidzknee
EXCELLENT NEWS -- Here’s one critic who won’t be there reviewing:
[Oestreich takes buyout from NYT - via Lebrecht]
“Folks: / After 24 years on staff at The New York Times, I have decided to make a major change and take advantage of The Times’s current buyout offer. I will complete my tenure as classical music editor on Jan. 31, but I am delighted to report that I will be advising the department on our coverage through the spring, as well as continuing to write for The Times on a freelance basis.
As many of you have heard me say (perhaps ad nauseam), this has been a dream job. If I had drawn up an ideal job description for myself beforehand, I could hardly have done better. The opportunity to do this work, in a field and on behalf of an art form that I truly love, at The Times – an institution for which my respect, impossibly high to begin with, has nevertheless grown through years of seeing it in action – was a privilege beyond measure.
That this privilege has also been all-consuming will come as no surprise to colleagues in the newsroom, and I am excited about the prospect (finally) of balancing my life with a bit of teaching, other writing and maybe even a book project.
I could not be more grateful to those many treasured colleagues in the newsroom and to all my friends within and without the paper. I hope that our paths will continue to cross in projects for The Times and in other ventures. You can reach me at this e-mail address during the interim.
All best wishes,
Jim [Oestreich]

Many of these items should NOT HAVE BEEN OFFERED FOR AUCTION ! Steel is a fool.
Robber baron might be more apt. Or barbarian destroyer? Crazed Taliban? (Or would that be “Talibani”?) Puritan in full sway? Disestablishmentarian?
