It will never happen, but a girl can dream.

Lucrezia Borgia — given only one night more than a century ago. Giustizia per Lucrezia!!!

Now that Lisette Oropesa is doing the McVicar co-production of Maria Stuarda in Madrid, can the Met revive it with her?

While I have an entire laundry list of operas (Maria Regina d’Inghilterra, Loreley, La Wally, Sadko, The Snow Maiden, The Golden Cockerel, La Fiamma, and many others) I wish the Met would do – especially after Medea was such a success – I think realistically speaking this double-bill would be lovely for Sondra Radvanovsky at this point.

William Kentridge‘s production of The Nose. I think it’s his strongest production for the Met, the piece is a masterpiece and this is a time for absurdity. Bring in Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson who did such an outstanding job with Mtsensk.

Both a brilliant composition and an outstanding production

John Dexter and David Hockney‘s French triple bill of Poulenc‘s Les mamelles de Tirésias, Satie‘s Parade, and Ravel‘s L’enfant et les sortilèges, last seen in 2002. This clip is from Barcelona but you can enjoy Gabriel Bermúdez nonetheless.

The Met was built for Saint-François d’Assise. It is a huge work, and it needs a huge space. And Ingo Metzmacher.

Because we have no shortage of mezzos that would be great in this rep

In François Girard‘s production.

Michael Spyres as Pirro; Juan Diego Flórez, Javier Camerena, or Lawrence Brownlee as Oreste; Aigul Akhmetshina as Andromaca; Anastasia Bartoli as Ermione

Mignon of Ambroise Thomas was performed at the Met many times but has not been for decades.
