I was reading a New York Times online article (I think) about the various problems that have cropped up with the Tristan und Isolde opera. Something about one show having to employ three different Tristan's one for each act?

The 2008-2009 season of Metropolitan Opera "moviecasts" starts on MONDAY, September 22. They will be broadcasting the Met's opening night, which will be a Renee Fleming gala. There will be three fully staged, unconnected acts, to show off Ms. Fleming. As an opera buff I think this will be an interesting, novel experience, but I doubt it would work for "the general public," who might prefer to see a story with a beginning, middle and end.
