Astonishingly, Boston's was the first professional production of a Tippett op era in this country. (Northwestern Uni versity staged The Knot Garden in 1974.) Although U.S. orchestras are increasingly taking up his instrumental works, his acceptance here lags behind even his late blooming in England.

'We've got Whitman, and I'm pretty sure we've got Byron, and we're still working on the big case, Shakespeare,' say the Gays. And the Straights reply by hanging on to Shakespeare's Dark Lady for dear life and giving up Whitman altogether...
