A critic for the Bay Area Reporter has reviewed a re-issue of William Christie's recording of Handel's Messiah and mistakenly indicates that Nathan Gunn is one...

Thank you for sharing! I am hoping there will be some new photos on Nathan's website soon, as well as an updated schedule for the rest of the year. ... of ......
Thanks! Is anyone else going to be seeing this, besides me (and Ken from TX, of course)? I leave tomorrow and am seeing the performances on 5/3 and 5/5. ...

Did anyone else read Nathan's post regarding the made for tv opera about the Apollo 11 mission? It sounds fascinating. Does anyone have any more information...
I did read the post about the Apollo mission. All I know about it is what Mr. Gunn has told us. I'll keep my eyes out and perhaps do some Internet searching. I...

Ken, Thanks so much for the excellent write-up. I wish I'd thought of the Pillsbury biscuit comparison -- it did look exactly like that! I now wish I'd read...

Dear, dear Patrick, How wonderful that you are going to Bayreuth! And what operas are you going to hear? This note should also serve as notice that I have...

Hi Clare, Personally, I think they need to revise Dr Atomic into an oratorio (much like El Nino by Adams & Sellars) but I fear the changes won't be that...
(This is going off topic, for those who care about such things.) Clare, So nice to hear from you and so sorry to hear about the shoulder! I hope your recovery...
Well, I know that it(Doctor Atomic) is being -- or has been-- revised, and the Met seems satisfied with that -- had they not been, they would have scheduled...
Thank you for the Mark Morris tip, and for looking out for me in Bayreuth. If you have a chance to do any touring of Bavaria on top of that part, do try to...
