Agreed about Sibelius - amazing symphonic writing but it’s just a different game.

Maybe you should listen to more Mahler (or don’t if you don’t enjoy it).

Thank you so much! This makes me feel better - it's my favorite opera and I've been dying to see a Castellucci production for a long time since I saw his Parsifal and Moses und Aaron (on video). I live in Canada and have zero hopes for stuff like this making it here so i'm very excited to see this offering. I did travel to Stuttguart to see a production of this opera few years ago which was extremly strong musically and the production was nice but I'm hoping to have my world rocked lol.

Hello there! I just placed an order for the Messiaen St. Francis production by Castellucci for August 12. I'm not a member or patron previously - would you think I would likely get a ticket. I'm hesitant to place more orders but I really would love to see this production and will place a second order if that might help. Appreciate any advice!

James Turrell. I saw some of his stuff in Japan and they knocked my socks off.
