Worst idea for an opera this week: Nixon in China.
  • Why not? From Faust to Othello to Don Giovanni, opera has always featured evil, satanic figures ...
  • ... just not so many in the same opera. (Nixon, Kissinger, Mao)
  • Quote of the day: "The English National Opera will mount Nixon in June and July."
