Die Liebe der Danae in Munich

For what continues to be considered an ill-fated rarity, Die Liebe der Danae has had several outings over the past couple of decades or so. I have seen three productions before this, two admittedly at its Salzburg Festival ‘home’ and none in Britain, though Garsington staged it a little before my time in 1999. (A recording, under the late Elgar Howarth, remains available.) Claus Guth’s Munich production, first seen earlier this season in Februar…Read Article

Canto Virginia 2025 Kicks Off With A Powerhouse Masterclass

Two days after a cohort of 20 select local and international singers arrived for this three-week program, Canto Virginia held its first event of their Midsummer Opera Dream festival on Wednesday this week. The program, now in its tenth year, has found what seems to be a new home in the Dreamscapes Performing Arts Center. “It was magical that this came together,” said Lucy Arner, conductor, vocal coach, and one of the three founders of Canto, spe…Virginia, United States · VirginiaRead Article

A Tremendous Salome Closes Pappano’s First Season with the LSO

Mahler, Ravel and Schoenberg all agreed that Richard Strauss’s Salome was amongst his greatest works and in a performance as compelling as this one it would have been almost convincing to see this is as his operatic masterpiece. Oscar Wilde’s description – in De Profundis – of Salome as ‘refrains whose recurring motifs make it like a piece of music and bind it together as a ballad’, recall not just Nietzsche but the Straussian ideal of music and…London, England · LondonRead Article

The Nine Jewelled Deer in Aix

Or was it ten? One lost count. But that was early in the evening of the telling of this sort of parable with accompanying instrumental improvisation by six earnest musicians.  Two voices told a story, veiled in a flowery, Southern Indian language (definitely not Modi’s Hindi!), with added, projected English text from time to time, occasionally spoken other times. The English supertitled in French. The story seemed to tell of the rape of a young …Aix-en-Provence · Aix-en-ProvenceRead Article

Charlottesville Opera’s The Pirates of Penzance: The Way Gilbert and Sullivan Should Be

In the charming city of Charlottesville in central Virginia lies a gem of an opera company that performs at the wonderful Paramount Theater nestled in a lovely square. The venue itself is a testament to how a modern opera experience should be, as they treat it almost like going to the movies rather than what one might think of when going to the opera. Not only can patrons purchase beverages, including alcoholic beverages, but also popcorn to enj…Virginia, United States · VirginiaRead Article

Shakespeare Opera Theatre’s Romeo and Juliet: Sumptuous Romance in the heart of Northern Virginia

Over the past ten years, Shakespeare Opera Theatre has made a name for itself by combining Shakespeare’s plays with operatic adaptations of his work. Managing director Dr. Lori Lind’s encyclopedic knowledge and understanding of both allows her to create cuts in script and score that make sense, and this production that combines Gounod’s music with Shakespeare’s text exemplifies a successful joining of the two. Before the show even begins, one is…McLean, Virginia · McLeanRead Article

La Calisto in Aix

Dutch stage director Jetske Mijnssen transferred Francesco Cavalli’s whimsical 1651 comedy La Calisto from its native Venice to France, one hundred years later — 1751, where the arts of an enduring Rococo spirit had lost their lightness, gained symmetrical rigidity, and assumed a turgid, judgmental stance. According to Mlle. Mijnssen. No need to argue.   We faced, for three and one half hours, a spartan salon of epic proportions, its unadorned b…Aix-en-Provence · Aix-en-ProvenceSee the Story

Stunning Cunning Vixen in Iowa

Given the miraculously spellbinding production of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Des Moines Metro Opera, New Mexico just may have to cede its motto: Land of Enchantment. There is barely a moment of this compact 90-minute entertainment that is not infused with wonder and delight. There are several folks on Creative Team Vixen that share credit for this visionary production.  Director Kristine McIntyre never fails to fill the playing space …New Mexico · New MexicoRead Article

A Superb World-Premiere Recording of Leonardo (not da) Vinci’s Didone abbandonata (1726) from the Florence May Festival

This is one of three Leonardo Vinci recordings that I’ve had the privilege of reviewing in recent years. The other two were Siroe re di Persia (from the renowned Teatro San Carlo in Naples) and Gismondo re di Polonia (from an interesting early-music organization in Vienna, Parnassus Productions, and featuring the superb countertenor Max-Emanuel Cenčić). This world-premiere recording of Didone abbandonata (from the 2017 Maggio Musicale Festival i…Florence, Toscana · FlorenceRead Article
