En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Taube Atrium Theater

The program presented excerpts from five new works in a riotously diverse selection, from an adaptation of the unfinished Fitzgerald novel, The Last Tycoon, to Death of a Playboy, an imaginary reenactment of Hugh Hefner’s funeral. 

Antonacci's voice shines even in the art songs that pad out the evening, but it's Poulenc's one-act opera that gives San Francisco Opera Lab's current offering dramatic weight (and makes it worth seeing).

Ana Sokolović’s Serbian a cappella opera is short on plot, but glorious musical variety, a talented cast, and an intimate space make for an engrossing hour.
