2016-05-20 03:41:20 I'm self-●●●●●●ed ●●●●●● ●●●●●●o ●●●●●●a So it’s ●●●●●●ll to City Opera. I don’t think there are ●●●●●● ●●●●●●sions, ●●●●●●, to be drawn from this story. Of ●●●●●● New York can ●●●●●●t more than one opera ●●●●●●y: the Gotham C●●●●●● Opera, for ●●●●●●e, ●●●●●●s to be ●●●●●●ng doing just the kind of thing -- ●●●●●●l ●●●●●●ory and co-●●●●●●tions in ●●●●●●ent ●●●●●● -- to which City Opera, in its death ●●●●●●, ●●●●●●d. In any case, the City Opera we all loved ●●●●●●lly ●●●●●●d ●●●●●●ng ●●●●●● the time of the ●●●●●●y’s year-long ●●●●●●; there were some good ●●●●●●●●●●●● in the Steel era, but that doesn’t in ●●●●●● make a ●●●●●●y. City Opera in its ●●●●●● was a ●●●●●● for young ●●●●●●s, ●●●●●●sting ●●●●●●tions, A●●●●●●n work, but also a lot of B-list stuff; the ●●●●●●e of good and bad that gives a ●●●●●●y ●●●●●●e. I grew up going to City Opera -- I feel as if I saw “Merry Widow” a dozen times there, ●●●●●● ●●●●●● is ●●●●●●●●●●●● -- and I have a pang ●●●●●●ng of the days of B●●●●●● Sills and Frank C●●●●●● and Julius Rudel (who has ●●●●●●sed his ●●●●●●s at ●●●●●●ing “his” ●●●●●●y). I am ●●●●●●l that its ●●●●●●ship was so ●●●●●●d. But many have ●●●●●●y ●●●●●●ted that some other opera ●●●●●●y may arise from the ashes, as soon as the ●●●●●●t board and ●●●●●●ment are ●●●●●●●●●●●● ●●●●●●d away. Indeed, the ●●●●●●ans’ union has ●●●●●●y ●●●●●● a ●●●●●●ent ●●●●●●ing the ●●●●●●tra’s ●●●●●●gness to ●●●●●● ●●●●●●er “●●●●●● the ●●●●●●unity arise.” This ●●●●●●e could ●●●●●●ly clear the way for the next ●●●●●●r. |
