The Year the Metropolitan Opera Declared War on the Critics
Briefly

from The New Yorker2 months ago
"For those who think of opera as an antique genre preoccupied with musty subject matter, the above-named works might prompt a reconsideration."

"Their musical languages are no less diverse... R. & B. and gospel course through 'Fire Shut Up in My Bones'; 'Ainadamar' is inflamed by flamenco."
