On this day in 1949 Marc Blitzstein‘s opera Regina opened on Broadway.
Birthday anniversaries of director and interviewer August Everding (1928)

I recall that when I saw Olivero on the Met tour in Dallas (Tosca, 1979), American boyfriend #2 insisted we wait at the stage door for autographs. After the tremendously physical performance we...
Are multiple contributions discouraged should we have more than one idea?
The modern world isn’t allowed to encroach on Paris. The place is pickled. But I guess Budapest is cheaper.
No, unfortunately, it didn’t. But those classes give us a very different and more nuanced picture of her than any of t factionalized portraits.
THere are few places left in the world where the modern world hasn't encroached. That's why so many shows with historical settings, even when they're supposed to be in NYC, are...

In theater on this date: The earliest show to open on this date was a revival of Walter Scott’s Guy Mannering in 1869. The Taming of the Shrew made its first appearance on “Broadway” in 1768. It...
Has anyone seen any discount codes for the Met's Aida? I kind of doubt there would be any at this point, but you never know.
Marlene asks the question of any age, "Where have all the flowers gone?" Cheers everyone. Hugs & High notes, TildyDiva.
Today in 1961 Subways are for Sleeping opened up on Broadway Phyllis Newman, one best supporting actress that year.
“Maybe we need another documentary.”
