NTT: Because of the literary luminaries hint, I'm going to guess Virgil Thomson (specifically Four Saints in Three Acts? one of those works I've always meant to listen to but haven't gotten around to yet). From a musical stylistic standpoint, I don't know that I could offer any other suggestions.
When I visited the Sydney opera house as a teen I was surprised to find out that the opera theater was in the smaller side hall. I never knew why it ended up that way.
Not wading into the NTT guessing space this week, because this is a rare NTT that I know by ear! Confirmed by text to Joey.

NTT: I haven’t a clue but I like it.
