Nathan's iconic torso aside, Chicago has a very pretty production. It starts during the overture as a couple of guys have a hash- or opium-induced dream of the orient and then proceeds into the opera itself.

Speaking of Chicago as y'all are, I need some advice. Note: I care about the sound, the visuals not so much.

I'm going to travel to Chicago for the Lyric's Lulu. Is there any seating area in the opera house that I should avoid? I tend to just sit at the back of the balcony, because that's usually a safe bet for good sound in my experience, but every place has quirks (like, in Los Angeles, do not sit under an overhang, it muffles the sound terribly).

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Thanks, Alex. I'd send an email...but since I don't see one here will have to get all mushy in public. I appreciate yr. thoughts on the blog and TOC, and will definitely keep the kewl stuff happenin' over on Deceptively Simple (note complete spelling!).

Inconsistency of concept sounds right...I guess I wouldn't have changed the fundamental look or feel of Dr. Atomic--it just muddied itself so terribly with lots of intrusive gestures and sloppy solutions to the more complicated problems. Has it always been like that or is that just a tic of his later years?

I've got a decade or two on you, Alex. Mr. Sellars and I have had lengthy periods of strained communication during his career. It's a consistency of concept thing more than a basic aesthetic problem, and it can be infuriating when it kicks in during a performance.

Would that I could help you with that, but since D...

Would that I could help you with that, but since Dr. Atomic me and Sellars are not really speaking. Does sound like a misstep...

We had Ainadamar here in Boston in a staged production that created a strong buzz and went down very well with the audience. Upshaw was quite wonderful.

I couldn't for the life of me get my head around director Peter Sellars' take on Lorca facing execution. I simply do not see him groveling on the ground, weeping and moaning in fear. I've mentioned this to some other people who didn't get it, either.

I'm blushing. Thanks!
