Performer: Opera Parallèle

Opera Parallele's production of Terence Blanchard's Champion: An Opera in Jazz features great performances but an uneven score and spotty blocking.

The effect was like raindrops falling on the surface of the world, transforming it from the dull white of fog and industry into saturated colors of fecund leaf and flower. 

Opera Parallèle’s superb production of Heggie's Dead Man Walking reveals a prism of anger and forgiveness.
