Reader, I almost bought it.
A sweater on a hanger. The sweater is blue and depicts a llama in a blue kippah and scarf next to a fully lit menorah. The text around the menorah says “Happy Llamakkah.” The sweater is also decorated with white snowflakes and white and yellow stars of David.

Alex Ross is having the time of his life:
Gelb is just as hazy when he looks to the deeper past. “History has proved time and time again that the status quo on artistic works is often wrong,” he writes. “When Puccini’s ‘Madama Butterfly’ had its premiere at La Scala in 1904, it was a critical flop.” Indeed, it was. But it also flopped with the public, as Gelb would have realized if he had consulted an informative page on his company’s Web site: “There were animal and bird calls from the audience during the dawn scene, laughter when Butterfly presented her child to Sharpless, and shouts of ‘She is pregnant!’ when a draft caught and billowed the lead singer’s costume—all in addition to the typical whistles, hisses, and boos.” Gelb’s populist tactic of pitting nice audiences against nasty critics belies the complex reality of how the repertory comes into being.

Saw this quote from @bebeneuwirth.bsky.social about being in Cabaret as a Jewish person and I'm getting verklempt about it. thank you, Bebe.
NEUWIRTH: I am very grateful to be an artist right now. And I’m very grateful to be a Jewish artist who is helping to tell this story of “Cabaret.” I feel the responsibility. I am a German Jew. I’m also a Russian Jew. I’m a Ukrainian Jew. I feel great responsibility. I’m honored to have that responsibility. A significant part of me is deeply conscious of that every time I step on the stage.

Realizing with some horror that everyone in my life who knows Cabaret actually only knows the movie. Every conversation is like

Picked up Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya’s letters from the library and this blurb from Teresa Stratas emotionally destroyed me.
"I spent a lot of time with Lenya during her last days. One day near the end she looked at me with those searing eyes and confessed, 'I’ve always envied you because you were able to sing Lulu.' I countered, 'But Lenya, you are Lulu?' And now that her revealing autobiographical fragment and these gripping letters are published, her portrait emerges in colors as vivid as Lulu's. Lenya and Weill remain unique and essential for the art of our time." —TERESA STRATAS
