Victorian murder mystery: Elizabeth Cree at Chicago Opera Theater

Boston Lyric Opera, with the approval of Bernstein's estate, recast Arias and Barcarolles as the further musings of Sam and Dinah. 

Despite its title, the victims dominate Julian Grant and Mark Campbell’s caustic one-act opera. 

Puts’ and Campbell’s fast and furious neo-Victorians launch Philadelphia’s Annual Opera Festival.

Imagine a tattered red curtain, blocking the set but revealing several bodies, bound head to toe in grey, hanging from the ceiling by their feet. It looks like the home of a malevolent, human spider - its prey a silent presence overhead. This is the opening of Verdi's Macbeth, at Boston Lyric Opera.

Jacobs, FBO und exzellenter Gesangscrew gelingt es als Ensemble im ureigensten Wortsinne, Atmosphäre und Figuren effektstark zu veranschaulichen.
