Personal to David Gockley: Pick up King Roger, will you? It's short and glorious and better than the last couple of commissions.

* Kevin Newbury, whom I dissed for his direction of Mary Magdalene, is directing Oscar, too. I hope he does better with it.

I'd love to see King Roger at SFOpera! So many interesting operas and interesting directors out there -- here's to more of both at SFOpera.
King Roger is quite something! Great music and could be staged more spectacularly than Santa Fe did last year.
Well, you could do worse than following William Burden around.
And, obviously, I second the King Roger thing.
I wouldn't bet SF Opera to have any interest in Szymanowski... This is the brief, disheartening interaction I had with them on Twitter on this matter: https://twitter.com/atrave/status/228887080292470784
Not really a surprise, alas. There's some good stuff coming down the pike (Jenufa, Troyens) but the upcoming season is pretty blah.
