Currently . . . the piece of music that has my attention is this new opera by Robert Aldridge called Elmer Gantry. I am in love with it. I think it is freakin brilliant. It is up there with Pucinni I think. It has some extremely captivating and gorgeous moments.

There are segments from the opera on his webstie:
