Maybe the spirits of Puccini and Bartok are just in a mood and demanding serious tribute, or maybe it\u2019s just a coincidence. But you and I might as well play it safe, assume the former, and keep these angry composer spirits at bay by dutifully attending these concerts that span this weekend and next:<\/p>\n<h4>Saturday, March 1<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.loftopera.com\/season.html\"><strong>1. Loft Opera<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nThe Loft Opera is kind of the Phoenix that rose from\u2026no wait that\u2019s an obvious metaphor. The Loft Opera is like the nice-smelling stuff some toilets emit after City Opera was flushed from the New York\u2019s operatic ranks. Not exactly a pretty analogy, but it works: with the birth of Loft Opera a blessed relief of freshness has come to the scene.
