Mo Better Modern at City Opera, S.F. Symphony

If the New York City Opera�s 2005-2006 schedule looks a little more modern and adventuresome than usual, I�m convinced you can thank me. Every time some fundraiser from the City Opera called last year (which was once or twice a day) to inquire why the wife and I were staying away in droves and refusing to give them their usual $50 donation, my answer was always �too much old crap that the Met can do a hundred times better.� Amazing what witholding a Grant will do. This season�s schedule has a more modern flavor. On tap is Mark Adamo�s Lysistrata, or the Nude Goddess, which debuts in Houston Friday night, and Rachel Portman�s The Little Prince. New productions also include The Mines of Sulphur, by Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, which was given its premiere in London in 1965; Paul Dukas's Ariane et Barbe-bleu (1907); the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta Patience (1881); and Capriccio, the last opera by Richard Strauss, first performed in 1942. At least it�s not Handel.

The San Francisco Symphony�s 2005-2006 season includes two weeks of celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Shostakovich's birth, works new to the symphony by Morton Feldman, Peter Lieberson, Thomas Ades and HK Gruber, semistaged performances of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex and Le Rossignol, Berg's Lulu Suite, and more Mahler. In fact, Feldman�s lovely Chopin homage--I met Heine on the Rue F�rstenberg--is paired with Mahler�s 5th. Guest conductor Mark Wigglesworth leads the U.S. premiere of English composer John Pickard�s The Flight of Icarus and Kurt Masur will conduct the first local performances of a work by Sofia Gubaidulina.
