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

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

Jennifer Johnson Cano’s stamina and total commitment were exceptional in the East Coast premiere of Poul Ruders' opera. 

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

Attention to clarity and detail without fussiness is a wonderful thing in the presentation of a Rossini comic opera, and Opera Saratoga in upstate New York scored a triumph with their new production of La Cenerentola by assembling a fine all-around team.
