Karren Alenier's interview with Charles Downey in the January issue is a fascinating and panoramic delineation of the current opera scene. Most readers--even some sophisticated ones--make the assumption that opera today is the 118,242nd revival of "Madama Butterfly," performed in exactly the same way that Puccini did in 1900. In this and in so many other articles, Karren shows us that opera is as vital, fresh and exciting today as it ever was. She fights the good fight for opera, both as creator and as journalist.
