There is no absolution in art or life. A dispatch from Bayreuth.
Political art
How did the repertoire become so narrow?
The provocations of Frederic Rzewski.
The radical commitment of Pablo Casals.
On Tippet Rise, a classical music festival on Native American land.
Is Donaueschingen censoring work that criticizes Israel?
The Black tenors who’ve taken on the role of Otello.
On the sexual politics of musical metaphors.
