En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Robert Brill

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

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.

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