I just got back from the opening night of Mark Morris’ Metropolitan Opera production of Orfeo ed Euridice. (Celebrity sighting: I sat behind Ned Rorem.) I’m still sorting out my complicated thoughts about the staging and don’t expect to be blogging about it until Monday, but I can definitely say that it ranks with The Coast of Utopia as the most important and consequential theatrical spectacle of the current season.
The provisional bottom line: you need to see it, and you only have three more chances, this Saturday afternoon and next Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon. Go here for more information.
More anon….
