On the nose
НОС
СОН
On the nose To the Coliseum last night for the Shostakovich on Stage festival and a performance of his first opera, The Nose. This spectacular enactment of Gogol’s fantasy was Shostakovich’s first opera, and Miki’s as well. Loving evocation of 1920s style with back projection and modernist Cyrillic typography. It turns out that the letters of НОС (nose) reversed spell СОН (dream). Dmitry with his roido-megine: a real Teisho mo-bo. Полина, you shoulda been there.
