Performer: Elizabeth DeShong

Die Lyric Opera hat die bisher bestklingende Premiere des Jahres zusammengestellt, in der Sänger, Chor und Orchester alle mit erstaunlicher Sicherheit begannen und nur noch besser wurden.

Faithful to the libretto’s dramaturgy, the staging unfolds in scenographic environments of strong impact -

John Adams’ Antony and Cleopatra puts the composer's propulsive music at the service of both moments of riveting human drama and less effective scenes of battle and politics. 

In common with Satyagraha, the core of Mozart's Enlightenment opera is forgiveness: versatile opera director Strassberger discusses his forthcoming LA production and how he gets the best from his singers.
