I was listening to NPR this morning, as I am prone to do on Sunday's and I heard that the Dallas (Texas) Opera House is doing an opera based on Herman Melville's book "Moby Dick." I thought that was intriguing, if one has read the book which is quite long and full of allegories in reference to religion, slavery and the basic human relationship to oneself while giving the first detail written history of the whaling industry, one has to wonder how do you score that to music?
Do you think the Ogunquit Playhouse will be doing this one soon?
The question is what part should Captain Gary play?
Check it out if you want.
