When DOW 36,000 typed that idiotic tribute to opera he didn't know the trend of the moment is evidently PCOpera, where the music comes last and the sieg-heil first. ("Rrrrrrrregietheaterrrrrr" -- sounds like a term Bertolt Brrrrecht could have invented.) God knows opera is irrelevant enough to the masses, with its singing wrestlers and tuneless instant masterworks; turning it into a politico-psycho-sexual lecture only digs the grave a little deeper.
But who would have guessed the Met is all that stands between opera and its total devastation?
