To:

In case it has not been reported, today's (3/24/05) NY Times carries a story
about the American composer, John Harbison's, abandonment of an operatic
adaptation of LOLITA as unproduceable in the current climate of sexual abuse
scandals. However, some of the material has been recast as a seven-minute
overture that will be performed this evening by the Boston Symphony Orchestra
and
again on Monday at Carnegie Hall.
