Ned Rorem in New York - 20 October, 1982
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 378:
Rosenkavalier at the Met. We stuck it out, all five hours, and wept. But, having spent the summer inside that piece, there will never be an ideal performance except inside my head - not even the performance inside Strauss's head.
