Almost worth the trip
The American Symphony Orchestra under Leon Botstein are giving the American premiere of Ethel Smyth's opera The Wreckers at Avery Fisher Hall in New York on September 30th. There is no information yet about casting. If it wasn't for the complicated security arrangements required for transatlantic travel I'd almost be tempted to go!
