Von Kurt Gottschalk, 21 Juli 2022

Aaron Siegel’s suite of songs, delivered by the unearthly American countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, are short, elegant and uncluttered, bringing the vocal works of Ives and Messiaen, or even Purcell, to mind.

Chalk and talk is dead. Teachers scramble to bring history to life in classrooms up and down the country through dressing-up days and interactive whiteboard activities.

Love and suffering uniquely explored in Glimmerglass Festival's Passions

Von Gale Martin, 29 Juli 2013

The third production to launch this year at Glimmerglass Festival is a pairing of two one-act operas spanning four centuries, entitled Passions for expediency’s sake. Presented in one bill, the works couldn’t be more different in style, presentation, and audience appeal, but they ultimately combine to make a unique and important artistic statement about suffering and love.

Agrippina at Boston Lyric Opera

Von Susan Blood, 16 März 2011

By all rights, Agrippina should be a tragedy. It begins with news of Claudius' death and ends with a roll call of doom, with political intrigue, power struggles, infidelity and dysfunction filling in the blanks. The Roman Empire is rife with opera fodder, and operas are rife with tales of Greek gods and Roman heroes (and anti-heroes).
