another addenda

"...ALTHOUGH opera might be healthier if die-hard fans were as intensely curious about new works as theatergoers are..."

That's the problem! Where are the new works??? How do you know that the MET audience isn't as intensely curious about new works as theatergoers are? The MET is not the only game in town or the world for that matter for new opera. Mess'in with the classics is risk free work.

Unfortunately directors with only this kind of experience come up short again and again when they try their hand at creating original work.
