Sellars directed an extremely well-received staging of the Bach "Johannes-Passion" that sold out the Park Avenue Armory in October 2014. He's currently in London working with the English National Opera on a new piece by John Adams, The Gospel of the Other Mary and an adaptation of Purcell's The Indian Queen. Also last year he supervised revivals of his production of Handel's Hercules and Wagner's Tristan und Isolde in Madrid, Toronto and Paris, a collaboration with Bill Viola that has been touring for 10 years. And the Met's most controversial production in years, The Death of Klinghoffer is a work Sellars originally conceived, though it was presented in a production by another director. Not everyone likes or appreciates Sellars' work, but he has directed and curated steadily for more than 30 years. But since when have facts stood in the way of McNally's making a cheap joke at the expense of a greater artist than himself?
