A friend of mine in San Francisco emailed me that he hadn't "seen the libretto yet but since its Philip Glass, I imagine it's more or less 'We surrender' repeated 6,000 times over the course of 6 hours with no set, no props, and 265 orchestra members playing triangles and out of tune marimbas."<br /><br />Hopefully, he's wide of the mark there.<br /><br />Daviddwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01748726942956990159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19295676.post-26054373867419889172007-01-27T06:22:00.000-08:002007-01-27T06:22:00.000-08:00David, I'm somehow not comfortable with the idea o...David, I'm somehow not comfortable with the idea of an opera based on this topic. I've been pondering this since you made the original post. Don't know why, when I find The Movie acceptable, but somehow an opera doesn't sit right. I somehow can't see General Grant standing there singing his heart out! Or General Lee, for that matter. It seems something of an irrelevance and irreverant, too.
