SIDELIGHTS: Michael Hutcheon once told CA: "I work with my collaborator, Linda Hutcheon, to bring the expertise of medicine together with that of literary theory in a project that views medical practice and meaning in a large social structure. We use opera as a cultural vehicle to explore this concept. The major motivation for both of us is intellectual pleasure."
