Today I stumbled across this review of Les Brigands, staged by Barrie Kosky for the Opera National de Paris. It sounds like great fun, and after seeing his perhaps-now-classic staging of The Magic Flute, he has become one of my favorite directors.

I love this quote: 'I think with Offenbach that it's very important that there is dirt, there is garlic and there is sweat!'
"I set down a beautiful chord on paper—and suddenly it rusts."
—Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998)
