OPERAS: "The Cask of Amontillado," a one-act opera by Julia Perry based on Edgar Allan Poe's story, will have its première on Nov. 20 at the McMillin Theatre. It will have a stylized production and will form the second half of the Columbia University Orchestra program led by Howard Shanet. . . . Opera 55, which recently gave the Robert Law-rence-Bernard Rogers work "The Veil" will present the New York première of another short opera on Nov. 23. It will be Hugo Weis-gall's "The Tenor," with a libretto by John R. Allen and Karl Shapiro drawn from a play by Frank Wedekind. The performance will be at the Provincetown Playhouse. ... On Wednesday the Baltimore Symphony, under Massimo Freccia, will give a concert performance of Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov," with • Jerome Hines in the title role.

OK, here's something: from November 7, 1954. This says the PREMIERE was on November 20.

Looks like they still haven't fixed the cross-staff accidentals issue.

I've never really had any issues when updating. They've been rolling out decent quality-of-life improvements for a while now.

Starting a new medication today called Concerta and it’s going to be impossible for me not to pronounce it like Concerto.

And since it’s a gate pedal, it can basically be used for anything.

DIY’d a little gate pedal to control the looper on my modular synth while I’m playing. Pretty happy with this one. Butterfly nebula painting by @samgodoy.com
