Odyssey Opera’s convincing revival of flawed Pacini in Boston.

Odyssey Opera gives the US première of the original three-act version of L'assedio di Calais, with every note Donizetti wrote in 1836.

Odyssey Opera has unearthed a gem with its production of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s 1962 chamber opera The Importance of Being Earnest, never published and staged only twice previously.

A concert performance of Dvořák’s Dimitrij opened the fourth season of Boston’s intrepid Odyssey Opera, constituting the US première of Milan Pospíšil’s 2004 critical edition of the original 1882 score. 

A complex portrait of obsessive and destructive passion.
