The new performing arts site, “Theater Jones” (Yes, a tribute to the late, great Margo Jones) is carrying Wayne Gay’s review of “Otello” (Yes, that Wayne Gay, formerly of the Star-Telegram) in which he raves about the new Winspear Opera House and the performers, while managing a shout-out to those who prefer to experience performances at home:

“Leading singers will want to sing here, and audiences, able to hear and experience vocal brilliance up close, will want to be there to experience opera in a way that the best electronic audio or audio-visual system in the world will never be able to duplicate.”

Now that we’ve built it, and built it brilliantly…will they come?
