Hi everyone,

Doug Cuomo has been riding high.

Here’s the New York Times review of Arjuna’s dilemma:

This morning there was a long feature on the opera on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition”

scroll down to Arts and Entertainment, and click.

For our conversation on Wednesday, I’d like you to read all of the above, and prepare some really thoughtful questions, about the music, about the staging of the opera, about the story itself.

I’m sure Doug will be delighted with having people taking the work seriously.  I think we are going to dig much deeper than the NY Times review. See you on Wednesday in class at the usual time.
