		Opera houses that intend to produce and perform new works in the near future will also have to allow for a serious renewal and restructuring of their production methods.
		We have to abandon the 19th and 20th-century opera house methods as soon as possible so that there is space for the creation of works that turn out not to fit into the present very limited production and artistic ‘corset’ of the majority of opera houses.
		Most existing opera houses date from the 19th or early 20th centuries or earlier, and are suited to the performance, in ideal circumstances of just one particular repertoire.

		Shostakovich revised the opera in the 1960's, apparently trying to assuage the authorities, but it was the 1979 Rostropovich recording of the original score that finally brought this intense and powerfully moving work into the operatic mainstream.

	Howard Haskin : Portraits
		Opera managements, however, cannot just open a can of high tenors (with a knowledge of this infrequently sung French role besides) when this happens.
		Haskin, however, brings more character to the role; singing it with more of the passion of the opera singer, while also conveying a deeper relationship with the theatrical reality in his acting and posture.
		It was, incidentally, ungracious of the Nederlandse Opera not to have flowers presented to Haskin; for the achievement of the première and for the fact that he is making it possible to continue the Orphée series.

		In one of its historically accurate, artistically/emotionally meaningful vignettes, the opera shows that the scientists working on the test were facing the unknown in every way.
		Childs' choreography for the cast and the chorus is fine, but her use of hard-working dancers seems strangely out of place - it belongs neither in the 1940s nor in our time, but rather, stuck in the 1970s, dancers intermingling with the chorus and executing straight-armed leaps and half-turns in the air.
		At the very end of the opera, instead of the expected stunned silence to follow the explosion, a brief recording is heard, of a woman, speaking in Japanese.

		And yet, it so often seems that whichever opera one is listening to at any time seems to be the top contender for favourite Mozart opera.
		The choices in reducing a complete opera to a little under an hour and a quarter are always going to be arbitrary, and invariably there is much fabulous music lost.
		The story, as in most operas, is stupid enough in the complete version — truncated like this it makes for an uncomfortable dramatic ride, and no matter how stupid the story might be, a complete story is always more satisfying than one with holes in it.

		The Nederlandse Opera at Amsterdam's Muziektheater has dispensed with the elaborate and ornate trappings of18th century rococco castles and their social conventions.
		In our post-modern era Opera is not only alive and well, but flourishing and expanding as the cross-over art-form par excellence, capable of embodying current social and cultural values.
		Mounted in Amsterdam's thoroughly up to date opera house (which caused understandable controversy when it first appeared in its key position at the head of the Amstel) it offers renewal and renewed insights and thereby plays its part in keeping opera alive.
