Kennedy Center to present America’s great witch hunt

Washington National Opera and the National Symphony just announced next season’s plans under new management.

WNO is putting on Robert Ward’s opera of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, a reconfoguration of the 1650s Salem witch-hunt as an allegory of contemporary McCarthyism. That shsould entertain the present regime.

Also on the bill: West Side Story, Marriage of Figaro, Aida and Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha.

The NSO has Shostakovich 8th, a Stalin-era work of arts-politics coexistence.

The arts aren’t dead yet.
