Ned Rorem in USA - 12 June, 1989
from Lies: A Diary 1986-1999, page 163:
Listening to music... The endless updated "relevant" versions of The Ring. Directors taint everything - in their anxiety to make the operas comprehensible to "people of today," and to draw attention to themselves - except the music. Why not change the music too?
