City Opera Names Steel

Although I must say that I was dismayed by the handling of l'affaire Mortier, I am heartened by the recent naming of George Steel to be head of City Opera. I admired his work at the Miller Theatre, and, much longer ago I'm sure than either one of us would care to remember, I taught him a bit of Latin at Yale. And the appointment has the added benefit of depriving Dallas of a talent that rightfully belongs back East! (Too snide, I suppose, but so be it.)
