I agree with many of Downey's opinions. But what I miss in so much of contemporary opera is "music", lyrical, melodic, music. Exciting ideas, exciting staging, wonderful voices, bland, uninspiring music, a blog of music that is blah. Where are the composers who can write like Puccini and Gershwin and Mozart?
