“Here's Johnny!” Paul Moravec’s opera, based on Stanley Kubrick's film of Stephen King's novel, proves gripping in Eric Simonson's production. 

In a highly effective stage presentation, the Minnesota Opera tells Jules Massenet’s story of two personalities whose spiritual journeys are like two ships passing in the night.

Muted portrayals dilute the danger of the work, but excellent singing saves the performance. 

David Pountney's production of Mieczysław Weinberg's opera The Passenger travels to Chicago. 

Two worlds occupied by the same two women and presented, jarringly, as a single multi-story set. One is the pristine white deck of a 1960s ship bound for Brazil, and beneath it, where the hull might be, is the grey grim world of Auschwitz.

A work crucial to the development and appreciation of opera as a relevant modern art form premièred on the East Coast to well-deserved acclaim at a legendary Philadelphia venue. From the first note out of the pit orchestra to the final strains of the last act, Silent Night, presented by Opera Philadelphia at the Academy of Music, was a tour de force – from conception to execution.
