I’ve written hundreds of articles—features, profiles, advances, essays, program notes, reviews of recordings (performances, books, exhibitions…) y mucho mas. I will bring this page more up to date during 2009 and 2010 and also add a guide to what I think are my best articles.
Please note that Time Out New York and Opera News removed large quantities of material from their online archives, so more than a hundred of my articles will be unrepresented here.
That said, here are some links to get you started.
