Opera News Today ... (Or At Least Opera News To Me ... Or Maybe I Just Forgot Given The Daily Financial Market Chaos)

Andre Previn's second opera, 'Brief Encounter', a commission from the Houston Grand Opera, will be premiered in Houston in five performances from May 1-9, 2009. The libretto is by John Caird, and the opera is based upon the play 'Still Life' and the screenplay to the 1945 film 'Brief Encounter', both by Noël Coward.
