Here's a list of all of the operas I saw in 2024, posted now rather than on December 31 because I won't be seeing any operas between now and the end of the year. (I have already ruled out an East Coast trip for Die Frau ohne Schatten at the Met.) I mean....Gurrelieder doesn't count, right? I'll be basking in its glory at the LA Phil in a couple of weeks. An asterisk indicates that the opera was new to me.

I've seen 2 1/2 operas this year (I walked out on SF Opera's Magic Flute), and at least three musical theater shows, a genre I prefer.
ReplyDeleteI didn't much care for the Kosky Magic Flute and probably should have been more negative about it in my review.
