This is exciting, although I think Tarantino wasn't wrong when he said that after a certain age, creatives tend to lose their streak. Maybe Steve will prove us all wrong.

This is exciting, although I think Tarantino wasn't wrong when he said that after a certain age, creatives tend to lose their streak. Maybe Steve will prove us all wrong. I think this 'rule' is less applicable to musicians. Joe Green was considered retired when he produced two absolute masterpieces. They were innovative and the second one was a light hearted and fleet of foot as a young man might dream of. He was 74 when Otello premiered and 80 for Falstaff. With all the advances in medical science today, Sondheim’s 87 years might seem to be at least as young. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Verdi Fingers crossed that this is a) great and b) not his swansong. PS the Ades Opera is at the Royla Opera House this spring. Tickets are heavily discounted on their normal prices. On sale soon For those tempted to try, but put off by the cost and 'Royal' thing; the acoustics in the Slips are great and its a lively group up there. Expect to pay £15 a ticket, You can see most of the tops of the heads on stage! One of the great bargains in London. www.roh.org.uk/productions/the-exterminating-angel-by-tom-cairns

Did uncle Steve say anything at last nights NT Platform about his new show? Please and ta I was at the platform and he did refer to the new musical. However, apart from noting (not commenting on) the recent production of the Exterminating Angel by ROH, I can't recall anything that is not in the articles already referenced in this thread.

I know things can change, but I am surprised we haven't heard anything else about this. I am sure hat the original plan was to have the musical on at the same time as Ades' THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL at the Met, so that audiences could compare the two. Seeing as the opera is on in October/November this year, I thought we would have heard something about the Sondheim piece by now.

FWIW, I saw a play by David Ives this afternoon (The Metromaniacs, a "translaptation" -- as Ives calls a translation and adaptation -- of an 18th-century French play called La Metromanie, by Alexis Piron). Ives's bio in the program says, "He is currently collaborating with Stephen Sondheim on a much-anticipated musical based on two films of Luis Bunuel."
