From the House of the Dead- I'm in this room alone.
Making its long overdue Met debut, Janacek's final opera From the House of the Dead, based on the Dostoevsky novella, has generated a fairly large amount of anticipation from opera fans of a certain ilk and a lot of positive reviews. Also debuting during this run is Esa-Pekka Salonen, former music director of the LA Phil and possibl

Off to New York
MG and I are leaving for NYC tomorrow to see From the House of the Dead, The Damnation of Faust, Fela!, eat a lot of good food and have a good time. I'm not planning on writing about any of this until I return, and by then we'll have also seen Otello at SFO and the Kiss: Alive 35 show in Oakland. There'll be a lot to catch up on, and if Otello doesn't suck, I'll even have to sit down and eat some crow.Until then, the beasts will be prowling the jungle for the next ten days and you won't find them here.

This is It.
So T and I went to see "This is It" this afternoon. I have really mixed feelings about the film, but I have to say it accomplishes what it set out to do. First of all, know that I tried to get tickets to the London shows. At midnight on that fateful Sunday evening, my internet access was down so

Rachin out
Semyon Bychkov led the San Francisco Symphony through Rachmaninoff's The Bells and Symphony No. 2 last night at Davies. I had the good fortune of bringing my friend GG to see the orchestra perform the first time and she really enjoyed it. It was a program that would satisfy both the newcomer and the regular visitor. Rachmaninoff is one of my favorite composers and this program immediately stood out when I perused this year's schedule as one of the must-see concerts.Strangely, I had a mixed reaction to the performance.

November Rain
Actually there is no rain- it's an incredibly warm and clear evening in San Francisco as I write this but the Guns 'n' Roses song title seemed like the most apt title for the post. It's the kind of night which reminds me of summers long past spent in the San Fernando Valley when I was a teenager. There's a full
