This is a subject I am also grappling with. Somehow, it’s hard to move opera’s great institutions into the 21st century. In a world in desperate need of a new Vision for the future, why are we enslaved to the stories of the 19th century in one of history’s most exciting, emotionally charged, physically and acoustically vibrant art forms? Instead of broken-record 100+ year old pieces, the opera could return to its historical role: as the performing arts’ greatest innovator. Let’s find our composers, librettists and storytellers—and give them opportunities to learn, explore, and exchange with their audiences and performers. Let’s shake up the format—so that people can digest the pieces in a high-paced world. Let’s stop settling for blasé and formulaic, Sexist, backwards, and downright ridiculous. Let’s let the voices of opera rise to regenerate and reinvigorate us to move forward—as they always have in the past. (Especially as it was once in my beloved Vienna, the opera capital of the world.) Opera should ignite our senses, emotions and imaginations. Settling for less ensures its decline.
