Lemony Snicket and composer Nathaniel Stookey are a bit cagey on details, but say they are at work on an opera. The first act takes place in a castle, and the second act in a diner. "If you know any wealthy Philadelphians who want to underwrite such an endeavor, please tell them to be in touch," Snicket, pictured here with a fish, said to me recently.
Look for an article on a symphonic Snicket-Stookey collaboration in the Inquirer in the next couple of weeks.
