Yale out-rebounded Baylor 38-32. It’s not an eye-popping statistic. One that most certainly did not warrant a question in the postgame press conference.

Luhrmann has built a brilliant career by taking genres young audiences largely dread, if they know them at all–Elizabethan drama, movie musicals and now opera–and reinventing them with passionate, kinetic style.
