Pending Problems Of Nationalism At the Washington National Opera?

"Plácido Domingo, the General Director of the Washington National Opera, wishes to bring the company to the Savonlinna Opera Festival in 2007.

Domingo is currently having talks with the Savonlinna organisers over performances of Richard Wagner's Die Walküre and one contemporary American opera.

According to Christina Scheppelman, the Washington National Opera's Director of Artistic Operations, Domingo has booked the Savonlinna Opera Festival in his calendar for 2007, but no contract has yet been signed.

"Domingo's plan is that the WNO would perform Wagner's Die Walküre and either Carlise Floyd's Of Mice and Men or Nicholas Maw's Sophie's Choice."
