I was so bummed when he broke ties with the Met because I would have loved to see it. ;_; Ah well, hopefully it'll make rounds in the States eventually.

the really stripped-down one (which he tried to make last time, and then it turned into Release The Stars, ha)

Ohh, I did not know this! But yes, just him and the piano would be awesomely refreshing. Or like, a jazz trio type thing.
