Looney Tunes Echo Backstage as Opera Dies: Manuela
Hoelterhoff
Mad scenes help make opera so enjoyable. Think
of Lucia di Lammermoor, her nightgown soaked in blood, singing cuckoo duets
with a flute.
But it helps if the people running opera houses
and music halls are generally sound of mind.
These last few weeks, it’s hard to ignore
evidence that not being nuts (or clueless or greedy) is no longer a requirement
for top jobs in many aspects of the classical entertainment business.
