Members nytb Posted February 13, 2009 Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Springer never made it to New York but with City Opera nearly out of business and the Met crying poor mouth, I wonder which of them will try to bring Anna to Gotham in order to fill empty seats with new opera goers.

caeron Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I'm a season ticket holder here in portland, and they almost always produce mainstream stuff. Too bad, this sounds like it would be a stitch. The one good thing about the portland opera is that they do one chamber opera a year. An entirely different experience to have these intimate operas in a very small venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 til the Fat Lady Sings? That was no lady. (Lord, forgive me.) ...This looks too exquisite. I must try to get the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine to stage it. http://www.ogunquitplayhouse.org/ Their recurring star, the redoubtable Sally Struthers, would be perfect.

Guest mineallmine Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Anything is entertainment these days. I mean they ahve turned Shrek the movie into a musical on broadway. They took Lord of the Rings and brough it to the stage building a theatre for it. Julie Taymor of Lion King fame is turning Spider Man into a broadway musical/theatre spectacle. What happened to original productions they seem few and far inbetween! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
