The fate of Unsuk Chin's Through the Looking-Glass...

Don't normally repost things from this blog's facebook page but... 

This week I sadly learnt that Unsuk Chin's opera Alice through the looking glass (sequel to 2007's AIW) has been cancelled and postponed indefinitely. 

Such a shame. Weird and avant garde as it was, Chin's AIW was what got me into opera in the first place. 

A sequel is surely ripe in possibilities. 

Hopefully another opera house will pick up the commission, but for now...

"Alas for poor Alice!"
