Philip Glass has a new piece of work on the life of Joannes Kepler running now at the MET. I have heard from a close friend that it was "less visually interesting" (read: WHACK) than the last Glass opera we saw, Satyagraha (on Ghandi) so I will not be pining over tickets. I say last one like I am a fucking opera connoisseur, but it was my first and only. And I kinda know why, OPERA IS WAY BORING. Although, I really like reading and learning about those old timey astronomers, I have considered getting a male B and naming him Copernicus (copper for short). Maybe a trip to NYC is in order? Nah - i think i am too pragmatic for the whole opera scene.
