So my best friend and I are going to NYC for a pilgrimage. Well, it’s more for me than for her, but either way, it’s going to be a big weekend. The highlight is, of course, Doctor Atomic by composer John Adams. I’ll leave a review after. It works in an area I’m interested in. Modern (or post-minimalist, rather) opera, using electronics. I’d like to work on one next semester (an opera that is). I have a friend working on the script (I think I’ve mentioned this already).
The other event we’re going to is the Steve Reich Evening at BAM. Lot’s of Reich, dancing to go with it, sounds like a good time.
Other then that, we plan to get lost in Chinatown and Little Italy for a bit. Getting lost is an adventure in itself, and since we’re both avid hikers we really can’t do that in the wilderness anymore. However, we are great at getting lost in the city.
Anyway, I’ll post how everything works out later.
