"The so-called memorial," he wrote, is "bizarre" because it is "neither a building nor sculpture."

I'm well aware of the difficulties in mounting amateur operatic productions: musicians are hard to come by, rehearsals are difficult to arrange, and there's no money to pay anyone for their time and hard work. And performing an operatic score is an effort of a different magnitude than, say, performing a symphony--the music not only has to be true to its own aesthetics but must also follow the contours of a dramatic performance...
