Hi Patrick - Sorry to go off the topic of Nathan, but I would be interested in hearing your review of "Dr. Atomic". Thanks, Patty Patty, Happy to oblige and...
You've summed up my feelings exactly! I probably should have planned to go to two performances, but unfortunately I can't stay that long. Work will be...
Yes, that's why I got a hotel room even though I now have friends who live in the area -- six days of me is a lot even for me sometimes. . . . Of course, if...
I wanted to see Dead Man Walking but never made it to SF. I love the movie version. The music in the first scene of End of the Affair reminded me of a ...
I have been reading reviews of DR. ATOMIC from a number of websites with links to newspapers, and they have been very mixed. There was, however a really...
Yep, that the Gnu song! It was pretty charming and I was delighted with the mention of the okapi, one of my favorite animals, but I did think it was a little...
Thanks Clare -- I would love to see that NY Times article if you still have it. I refuse to register for them so I miss most of their articles (unless our ...

Patrick, I finally got the time to read your email and wanted to say thanks for the detailed review - I feel as though I was there! It is a shame that it...
I don't recall (total) nudity in the premiere here at San Francisco Opera -- I think the closest they got was having the convict in his briefs. The movie is...
Thanks, Patty. There were some very effective stage pictures in Dr Atomic, noticeably a huge replica of the bomb hanging over the cradle of the Oppenheimers's...
Last season Karitta Mattilla ended the Dance of the Seven Veils nude at the Met, and the first scene of the City Opera production (which has been used by a...
Was that Mattilla Salome as spectacular as I've heard? I've heard rumors she didn't like the staging and won't reprise it. I wonder why. [Non-text portions of...
she did a production in Paris as well, maybe it will appear on DVD. ... From: To: fansofnathangunn@yahoogroups.com Sent: 11/5/2005 4:01:20 PM Subject: Re:...
I had heard the Met filmed its production with her for TV and DVD release, but I'm not sure that actually happened. They seem to sit on their DVDs for quite a...
If she didn't like it, she was with the majority. Despite the excellent voices, and generally fine acting, the staging was really stupid. Clare wade lewis...
Patty -- it was I who mentioned the NY Times article -- and I thought that the point was that he was NOT a music critic -- he was a member of the public...
I was present to hear Sister whosis (my mind is going) discuss the work on the opera, have the tape from the discussion on CBS Sunday morning which was shown...
Patrick -- speaking of Sellars, I make use of his Mozart/DaPOnte operas a lot (they were first staged at the Pepsico Festival that used to be held in...
Sister Helen Prejean is the nun's name. And you are right, they did make it clear they were basing the opera on her book rather than the film. That had slipped...
Thanks for the information, Clare. Sellars & Co did stage Nozze di Figaro in Boston when I lived there and so I've seen that one live. I think it was part of...
Actually, it was released on VHS. The New York Public Library used to own it, and I borrowed it frequently for use in class. When the Performing Arts...
I missed out on the VHS release. I didn't track those as vociferously as I track DVD releases. Of course, it was harder to do that in those bleak days before...
The Sellers JC was released on laser disk (remember those?) I still have a copy so I'm sure there are others out there... Carl S [Non-text portions of this...
Actually, I never upgraded to laser discs. But can DVD be far behind, as Cesare slowly climbs up the technological ladder? I see that there are now even tinier...
There's a column on the left-hand side of the home page with sections like Messages, Photographs, Links, etc. You just click on the photographs and it will...
