ATOMIC FALLOUT
If you’re interested in how critics are responding to the premiere of the John Adams/Peter Sellars opera Doctor Atomic, about the genesis of the atomic bomb, Lisa Hirsch provides a great many links at Iron Tongue of Midnight (that's an allusion to Shakespeare, not an S&M site; trust me). Doctor Atomic is a very big deal, garnering more coverage than anything else in recent classical-music memory. Critical opinion of the work is somewhat divided, but the score, at least, seems to—if you’ll pardon the expression—blow everyone away.
