DESCRIPTION:Jun 4 - Jul 2\, 2026\nThe spiritual minimalist John Tavener (19
 44–2013) punched his ticket to Pop Nirvana when Princess Diana’s funer
 al cortege departed Westminster Abbey to the strains of his elegiac “Son
 g for Athena.” Now\, Charles III’s name is being yoked to Tavener\, to
 o. It seems his widow\, Lady Maryanna Tavener\, approached King Charles a 
 while ago bearing the voluminous manuscript of Sir John’s unpublished Kr
 ishna. According to the London Times\, the “mystic pantomime” on Hindu
  themes in 15 scenes counts among its distinctions five orgasms\, a vision
  of the universe in a mouthful of mud\, and a “halo” of eight flutes i
 n an attic. The dramatis personae lists a weeping cow and a quartet of Kri
 shnas\, bookended by Rosa Sparks as the boy and Brett Polegato as the man.
  Sir David Pountney\, not one to quail before grandiose conceits\, is the 
 director. Mark Shanahan conducts. From rural Grange Park\, the production 
 transfers to Houston Grand Opera in 2027-28.
