While promoting his new book on "Frank Buckley Interviews," Comey responded to the latest news regarding the release of the report by Special Counsel John Durham, saying, "After all these years, there's nothing new in that report about the FBI. No new facts. He's got his analysis and his take on things, but after all this time, there's nothing new. And so, my reaction honestly is, an enormous waste of time and tax payer money to give us a nothingburger."The report was the conclusion of a four-year investigation conducted by Special Counsel John Durham, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump's Attorney General Bill Barr.

‘The Shining’: Opera based on Stephen King’s horror masterpiece comes to SF

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:07:45 GMT

A few years ago, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Paul Moravec was thinking about subjects for a new opera. He considered a number of sources — and then friends suggested “The Shining.”“I thought, ‘Oh my God,’ what an idea,’” Moravec said in a recent call from New York. He knew the Stanley Kubrick film, but hadn’t read the Stephen King novel that was Kubrick’s source. Once he did, he and award-winning librettist Mark Campbell went to work; the opera made an acclaimed world premiere at Minnesota Opera in 2016, and has since been produced to rave reviews at Opera Colorado and Lyric Opera of Kansas City.Now “The Shining” is making its West Coast premiere, in a new Opera Parallèle production directed by Brian Staufenbiel, conducted by Nicole Paiement and starring baritone Robert Wesley Mason in the leading role of Jack Torrance. Performances are June 2-4 at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.“The Shining” follows Torrance and his family as they spend a winter in ...
