Very nice! For Birtwistle I'd do The Second Mrs. Kong but a very nice mix of old and new, it's especially nice to see L'amour de Loin get some love. Only lacking a Schreker opera..... :-)
Schreker's Gezeichneten definitely will be a highlight of season three.
The Second Mrs. Kong sounds incredible; somehow I'd never heard of it til now. If we hadn't already booked the singers for Minotaur, I'd consider changing! :-)
I can't possibly keep up with all the operas, so I've decided to do some fantasy orchestral seasons.
