Thanks, John. I knew that somebody who'd had more sleep (or more coffee) would come up with the names of a few more candidates. Just the same though, there are only a few, aren't there? (Did Virgil Thompson's "Four Saints in Three Acts," an intimate piece, ever play the Met?

Blanchard has had two operas premiered at Opera Theater of St. Louis. So, New York, get on the ball.

Apparently, the Met for years wanted to do Bernard Herrmann’s WUTHERING HEIGHTS, but only if he’d cut it. (It’s 4 acts long!) which Herrmann refused to do.
So it waited for a stage premier until after Herrmann’s death. (And that version was cut.)

And how about Nico Muhly's "Marnie," just this past season?

Isn't Blanchard a French name. So, he's Creole. Right?
