John Adams's first opera Nixon In China, produced by Peter Sellars, with libretto by Alice Goodman, about the visit of Richard Nixon to China in 1972, where he met with Mao Zedong and other Chinese officials. Act I Opening - The opera begins at Beijing Airport. As the soldiers wait, an airplane taxis and lands on the stage - the Nixons and Henry Kissinger disembark and are greeted by Chou Enlai. As Nixon is introduced to various Chinese officials by Chou, he sings of his hopes and fears for his historic visit. - Quote from Lyrics: (Nixon 尼克遜)"News, news, news, news, news -- has a... has a...has a... has a kind of mystery has a...has a... has a kind of mystery ...... Who, who, who, who are our enemies? Who, who, who, who are our friends?"

I like new concepts and new music. Don't get me wrong. One of my favorite composers is Arvo Part. I just think Musicals have replaced the need for modern Opera especially when done in god awful English.
Just because something is old does not make it crap. Just because you do not like the new does not mean you are open to change, only that you do not like the direction of the change.
Of course, as mature as your response was here, I'm sure this will not make very much sense to you.

I have seen my share of new operas but nothing strikes me as interesting yet.
