Fusion Opera?

The Korea Herald claims that the advent of a new genre of fusion opera is upon us. Huh? How is having the recitatives translated into Korean the creation of a new genre? It’s even less creative than I imagined. Now, a full-stage new (classical) music opera, with digital effects onstage, and cool stuff like that, telling a traditional Korean story, that might be a new genre, or at least something like “fusion opera”, but this? This is just The Barber of Seville. It’s enough to make me want to get out my manuscript paper sketchbook and find some Korean kind …

It’s a bit of a typecast role for her, but I approve in this case. And here’s Betty Bowers’ scathing and rather intelligent review of …

Which Glasses Are You Wearing?

Hahahaha. The Grand Canyon is an awesome display of God’s creation and a place to find and explore the wonders of His creation. If we visit the Canyon, or read the prevailing interpretive literature about it, we will find that the views presented are predominantly based on evolutionary theories. These theories tend to deny God’s involvement and often His very existence. When viewed from a biblical perspective, however, the Canyon has “God” written all over it. Not only is the Canyon a testimony to creation but it also presents evidence of God’s judgment of a world broken by the sin …
