Bedřich Smetana’s patriotic opera Dalibor is given a rare outing at Bard College, directed by Jean-Romain Vesperini and conducted by Leon Botstein. 

Excellent performances and stage direction make a good case for an opera that's on the slow side dramatically.

 The recent première of Alejandro Cerrudo’s “Sleeping Beauty” in Basel made a brilliant case for reinventing an old and magical tale.
