Not There This Week
On page two you usually have a comic (Obermeyer). I don’t see it this week (November 10). I was just curious what happened, if whoever writes it doesn’t do it anymore or what, cause I look for that every week.

Classical Music Hip for Our Day and Age
Occasionally you have little blurbs about the San Diego Opera, and you have pretty good music reviewers. I was surprised that none of them wrote about the loss of the Chinese opera group called Lin Wah.
They are a Chinese opera group that has been around for a long time. I guess they lost funding. They were mostly seniors — even octogenarians! It was my hope that the San Diego opera would adopt Chinese opera into their repertoire, as we have so many fantastic Asian and Asian-American musicians, conductors, and directors in all our different orchestras. They have such a huge volume of material, and it is awesome.
I invite you to check out Lin Wah on Youtube. These guys are great. Sure, Wagner ... Adams, he’s great ... Phillip Glass, awesome. But there’s a huge repertoire of really interesting-sounding music with interesting stories and almost drag-queenlike make-up and androgynous. It’s really pretty hip for our day and age.
Anyway, that’s what I was hoping I would see in your paper.

I just saw Don Bauder’s article of October 20. What an excellent article that was. I would love to see it in printed in the [Union-Tribune] so that other people could see the whole situation here.
