Operas We Would Like to See Again
Lowell Liebermanns The Picture of Dorian
Gray
"I remember
once, when I was attending school, the teacher asked each student to name
in turn the most influential book he or she had ever read and briefly explain
why. Most of the answers were predictable and banal: The Bible, The
Boy Scout Handbook, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, etc. It came my
turn, and I named The Picture of Dorian Gray. The teacher sniffed,
said, "I certainly hope not!," and moved on with alacrity to the
next student." (Lowell Liebermann, Opera
World)
