While You Were Out

Over the weekend:

- Rufus Wainwright's first opera, Prima Donna, had its premiere over the weekend in Manchester. The New York Times has the review. The Omniscient Mussel has the interview. Rufus, apparently, has a Verdi costume for opening night.

- Casting years out into the future, and hoping for the best.

- Florida's Opera Naples buys its first home.
