A faithful spy reports from the Met: “Today’s final dress of Wozzeck went very well, to say the least…. The small ‘closed’ audience cheered at the end. Waltraud Meier turned toward the wings when it was time for the maestro to take his curtain calll, but returned to her place without him. Suddenly, there [James Levine] was smiling broadly, zipping out to his place in the line-up in an agile golf cart of some kind. To much cheering. Perhaps this will be his solution to the somewhat tortured curtain calls of earlier in the year. I think it worked. At least he wasn’t grimacing in pain.”
