Lots of photos-here's part of the article. Len Few challenges in live performance rival the start of the Met season. Monday brings the new “Samson et Dalila,” with 145 performers onstage, including 18 dancers for its orgiastic Bacchanale. A revival of Franco Zeffirelli’s cinematic “La Bohème” — stag...

:( :( :( -collusion, cooperation, lying, corruption,sexual harrassment and maybe even rape- Hillary is no different in this respect.

We're in madrid now-if we were home it might have been monclair. Len :lol: MONTCLAIR, N.J. — I won’t lie: I had to suspend disbelief while watching a crucial moment in Frank London’s new opera “Hatuey: Memory of Fire” on Sunday. On stage, a conquistador priest brandished a crucifix as he urged an in...

I see that Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra will do Martinu's "Julieta" in concert this season.

Barring complete exoneration, Kavanaugh is tainted. By comparison, Justice Thomas looks like a mischief maker who needed his mouth washed out. Kavanaugh LOCK HIM UP!

There's a lot to question in that, starting with Nixon in China being an undisputed masterpiece.
