Performer: Mary Elizabeth Williams

The Canadian Opera Company’s season opening production is musically excellent, but the dated, dull production adds little. 

Musically, WNO gets it right. Straightforward brilliance is the order of the day, and plenty of it.

Seattle Opera's memorable Porgy and Bess excels with an exceptional cast who performed with utmost sympathy for their roles.

When the entire plot is triggered by a freak accident, you can't blame director David Pountney for making Fate itself one of the key characters.  

With Verdi's Otello, Music Director Robert Spano continues a recent Atlanta Symphony Orchestra tradition of presenting grand operatic works in a concert hall version

WNO's excellent revival of John Copley's 2011 staging of Die Fledermaus is a delight.
