Patrons have long been displeased with the dull traditionalism at the Met--the dearth of new productions, premieres, and, worst of all, commissions. I'm super eager to hear more about Gelb's plans to vivify the house. My only problem is that I happen to currently live in the wrong city . . .<BR/><BR/>As for Chenoweth, last I heard she was working on a new opera for LA Opera, so she's moving in that direction. As long as they're not using microphones, I think it would be great if some of Broadway's classically-trained singers took the Met stage. LA is one of those companies that has been way innovative and exciting (who engaged LuPone and Macdonald to sing Weill? with Conlon, no less?), and the Met is definitely taking their lead.<BR/><BR/>Change at great insitutions is often slow. The Met's time has come.of the kosmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276656082949973960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19747701.post-1140201906004235252006-02-17T13:45:00.000-05:002006-02-17T13:45:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.of the kosmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276656082949973960noreply@blogger.com
