		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden One thing you can’t call David McVicar is inept. His productions always work with precision, every movement landing everyone in the right place at the right time, every “still” moment photo-ready. Reportedly he brings shows in on budget and on time, and there’s never a last-minute scramble to improvise some kind of [...]]]></description>

		<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 Most arts-related technology is at least slightly Jekyll-and-Hyde in its implementation, no matter how optimistic the intentions of its creator. For an example of the phenomenon, you need look no farther thafn Robert Lepage&#8216;s Ring, clanking its way back to the stage of the Met this week. Amazing tech, that: all those [...]]]></description>

Charles Anthony will be long remembered for the stunning statistics of his career at the Metropolitan Opera: 2,928 performances of 111 roles in 69 operas in 57 years. He appeared there more than any other artist in the Met’s history. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden After putting off for a week trying to make some sense of the horrific mess that is the Met&#8217;s new Faust, I&#8217;m finally just going to give up. There are some disasters that bear writing about as what you might call teaching opportunities: this season&#8217;s Don Giovanni, for example, as a cautionary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden Now that it has become apparent that Robert Lepage&#8217;s production of the Ring at the Met is a fiasco (too soon? Nah.)&#8230; well, anyway, since arguably the production is a dreary, unworkable, overpriced mess whose primary (perhaps only) virtue is that it actually hasn&#8217;t killed anyone yet, and since, let&#8217;s face it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By James Jorden The critics&#8217; reaction to Robert Lepage’s new production of Die Walküre at the Met leaves this contrarian reviewer in something of a quandary. Not only was pretty much everybody underwhelmed, but there was a consensus about what (they thought) was wrong: the clunkiness of The Machine, the lack of poetry in the [...]]]></description>

If there is a more brilliant director working in opera today than Stefan Herheim, well, maybe I shouldn&#8217;t see any of his work, because it might be too much [...]]]></description>
