A world premiere opera about the Fisk Jubilee Singers, the intrepid troupe of African American singers who changed music history. 

Das außergewöhnlich gute Sängerensemble trägt diese aussagekräftige Opernvorstellung bei ihrer europäischen Premiere.

Handel’s Xerxes (1738) was part of this year’s “home and homeland” season at Glimmerglass Festival.

Emotionally-engaged performance of Weill's Apartheid Opera. 

A righteous, politically-relevant but musically questionable world premiere of Philip Glass' revised Appomattox.
