An opera by Rufus Wainwright is suddenly sounding like a pretty level-headed idea. Here’s the English National Ballet’s recent attempt to connect with broader audiences (via John Aizlewood’s Guardian blog). Sounds like they’ll be dancing to live music by Brian Wilson.

Ugh.

I love Aizlewood’s “god only knows” mantra. It really works with the hyperactive British accent I’m imagining in my head.
