Intérprete: Boston Lyric Opera

Vita Tzykun and David Allen Moore’s production works within the company’s means to create a memorable afternoon of Rossini's operatic swansong.

Very few singers can hold an audience in the palm of their hand the way Brenda Rae as Marie does in this rollicking frolic. 

David Angus leads a taut, spirited performance, but Steve Maler’s staging of Verdi's first Shakespearean opera raises many questions. 

The composer's magnum opus, unjustly neglected in English-speaking countries, receives magnificent treatment from Andris Nelsons and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, anchored by David Butt Philip and Christine Goerke.

Conducting a reduced version of his own opera, Matthew Aucoin's Eurydice still packs a big punch. 

Impeccable ensemble work in Dawn M Simmons' first foray into opera.
