Rufus Wainwright is writing an opera?
Things I didn’t know but now do after reading this article (New York Times, registration required or not):
- Rufus Wainwright is writing an opera titled Prima Donna.
- He’s writing it in French.
- The Met would rather it be in English.
- Nico Muhly is also writing an opera for the Met.
- I would rather listen to a Nico Muhly opera than a Michael Torke opera.
- If I were to go to an opera, that is.
