La historia de redención de Jake Heggie cautiva al público del Teatro Real gracias a un sólido reparto y a una efectiva producción

A wonderfully realized production at San Francisco Opera of Jake Heggie's operatic version of a holiday classic. 

Jake Heggie's spectacular vocal writing combine with Terence McNally's perfectly paced libretto to provide intense music drama which forces you to confront darkness.

American composer Jake Heggie makes his Los Angeles Opera debut in this powerful performance of his 2010 opera, Moby-Dick.

There was a nod to John Adams in the score, but also a kind of edgy Americana, complete with powerful writing for male chorus, and an attempt to communicate the flavor of rural North Carolina, not far from where Higdon grew up.

The José “Pepe” Martínez/Leonard Foglia collaborative team returns to explore Mexico’s volatile history, search of one’s self, wrought with emotional strife in this beautifully woven Mariachi opera.

Two mountain-themed operas were performed recently in Dallas, including the much-anticipated world première of Joby Talbot's Everest. 

Taking risks has mixed results in A Coffin In Egypt.

Though reports of the work’s importance and dramatic power have attended it since its 2010 premiere in Dallas, I doubt many in the audience of the War Memorial Opera House on Wednesday night were prepared for the impact of Jake Heggie’s Moby-Dick.
