After two consecutive years of performing the standard Mozartian fare, the Dunster House Opera Society is about to strut new feathers with Igor Stravinsky’s underperformed, yet influential, neoclassical opera “The Rake’s Progress.” It is DHO policy to alternate between more classical productions and either contemporary or lesser-known work every few years; however, co-producer Clara H. Kim ’09 said that the cast and crew confronted various challenges while staging this modern piece, which conforms to the Mozart model in its organizational structure but strays...
Well, that's a very interesting point, I mean, the expectations are different. But on the other hand, there is the Mozartian opera which people love - and rightly so - but for its delightfulness. That isn't threatening really, even in the Madame Butterfly...
...listen to. I come home from a screening, weary and faboobled, pop a Mozart recording in the machine - you really must get Murray Perahia's boxed set of all the piano concertos and enter into bliss.

Appropriately, the first movement is full of pomp and flair, with dramatic octave leaps and running scales. The Andante is warm and almost romantic in style, though filled with unmistakable Mozartian phrases. The Minuet juxtaposes an energetic main section with a flowing, graceful Trio. But especially impressive is the Finale, which the orchestra pulled off with the faultless precision and excellent dynamic range that is required for the movement. It has a grand, triumphant style that seems to signify a victory...
