The Master is in mourning. His outing to the Glimmerglass opera festival in upstate New York in August has been scrubbed. One of his favourite calendar items, the festival is a showcase for up and coming artists and cutting-edge productions.
He was particularly looking forward to a performance of Handel’s Rinaldo, featuring brilliant up and coming counter tenor Aryeh Nusbaum Cohen, who he heard in San Francisco last December. How many more summer delights will be knocked on the head?
