		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden Of hundreds of juicy anecdotes in Ken Mandelbaum’s indispensable volume Not Since Carrie: 40 Years of Broadway Flops, one stands out perhaps a little more than the others. It’s about a show called Reuben Reuben which closed out of town in 1955. This was a through-composed absurdist piece by Mark Blitzstein, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden The Metropolitan Opera debut of Donizetti&#8217;s Anna Bolena, an amazing 180 years into the work&#8217;s history, won mostly respectful reviews last week—in between snipes at Anna Netrebko&#8217;s momentary breaking of character during the &#8220;Tower Scene.&#8221; A common thread in both published and popular opinion, though, was that the piece itself was not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden It&#8217;s not hard to guess why Peter Gelb would choose to import a recreation of the original production of Nixon in China instead of devising a new staging from scratch. It would hardly be prudent to blow a million dollars on a six-performance run of a work unlikely to be revived any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden New Year’s Eve may have marked a significant turning point for the Gelb administration at the Metropolitan Opera. The replacement of the “beloved” Franco Zeffirelli Traviata extravaganza with a lean, mean non-literal staging has garnered rapturous reviews and strongly positive audience reactions. The single reported boo for director Willy Decker’s production team [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden What makes a dedicated opera queen (well, anyway this dedicated opera queen) sad? Well, it goes like this: the General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera hosts a panel discussion to introduce the company’s upcoming new production of La traviata, the first non-Franco Zeffirelli take on Verdi’s tragedy to be seen there in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden Of course it’s insanity in the current financial climate to suggest that the Met should have done a new production of La fanciulla del West this year, even though it&#8217;s a very special case: the centennial of the work&#8217;s world premiere, which was also the Met&#8217;s first world premiere. In fact, to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden It’s the laziest of journalistic tropes to lead off with &#8220;this guy I know says&#8230;&#8221; but in this case the guy in question has provided me with what I consider a really handy peg for a first column on opera stage direction. Anyway, this guy—who’s in his 70s now, a retired opera [...]]]></description>
