With the current buzz about great writing on music, I thought it worth re-posting this article I did for NYT, a reminder that people can be brilliant judging the past but woefully wrong about the present & future (cf Schoenberg, Adorno, Boulez and others) nytimes.com/2019/11/26/arts/…

"For soprano Sylvia D’Eramo, singing at Santa Fe feels like coming home to everyone from the gardeners to the vocal coaches." #SFOApprentices #SantaFeOpera abqjournal.com/2511471/forme…

A5. Partial to London for so many reasons! Great opera from @E_N_O & @TheRoyalOpera. The Globe Theater, since Shakespeare’s plays are still so relevant. An amazing multi-cultural food scene & even an occasional sunset that's almost like one in the @CityofSantaFe! #FoodTravelChat

Got my tix and looking forward to some great music!
TIP from @SantaFeOpera: There’s more than opera at Santa Fe Opera’s Crosby Theatre: Weird Al, Buddy Guy, John Hiatt, Wilco, Rodrigo y Gabriela and more. #FoodTravelChat santafeopera.org/

Super-fun, y'all! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wicked! There was so much buzz about it that I was put off but when I saw it, I understood why and I bought the cast album! #FoodTravelChat

A6. We always tailgate at @santafeopera. It’s so relaxing to get there early and take in the scene. Always Champagne but no set menu, we just bring something to share & it always works out right. #FoodTravelChat
Q6: Have you ever tailgated before a concert or theater performance? If so, what did you eat and drink? #FoodTravelChat

A1. London! The Barber of Seville at the Royal Opera House. Loved it and feeling super-psyched that @santafeopera is doing a production of the Barber this summer with @barihopkins singing the title role. Definitely a favorite! #FoodTravelChat
