Not opera, but I would pay - and pay a
lot - to see this program:
- Boulez, sur Incises
- Birtwistle, Moth Requiem
- Stravinsky, Les Noces
Conducted by
Le Maitre himself, of course. I was lucky enough to see him conduct
sur Incises just about three years ago. I hope I never forget the beauty of the work sounding through Disney Hall.
H/T Boulezian for suggesting that
Les Noces would go well with the other two!

I am not that fond of Shaker Loops myself and the review is kind of funny but it is monumentally unjust. A difference in intention is not the same thing as a poverty of intention. (Harumphs.)
Oh, ah, this is on the wrong posting - I think you meant it for "Tell Us What You Really Think, Mark!"
Mark has his opinions. :) He will also be happy to tell you that Verdi is worthless, too. (I am looking around for his opinion on another composer I love and not finding it. Hmm.)
I've emailed Mark about the review I remember. Maybe I am conflating two reviews he wrote, not sure.
Found it: note his comments on Shostakovich in this review.
