Performer: Vera Savage

David Angus leads a taut, spirited performance, but Steve Maler’s staging of Verdi's first Shakespearean opera raises many questions. 

Conducting a reduced version of his own opera, Matthew Aucoin's Eurydice still packs a big punch. 

Jennifer Johnson Cano’s stamina and total commitment were exceptional in the East Coast premiere of Poul Ruders' opera.
