Performer: Paul Groves

The compelling story of boxer Emile Griffith's struggles with guilt and sexuality are not ideally rendered in James Robinson's new production.

The young soprano Lise Davidsen scored a successful debut at the Met, with impressive support by conductor Vasily Petrenko, also making a debut, led a memorable revival of Pique Dame. 

Salonen brings his Stravinsky retrospective to a close with a pair of Greek-inspired scores. 

A conventional and quite predictable staging of Lehár’s most famous operetta was saved by dedicated musicians.

John Relyea owns the stage as Méphistophélès in Boston Symphony’s Faust. 

 Michelle DeYoung and Paul Groves were the soloists in Mahler’s late “symphony with solo voices.” The concert opened with a classically balanced reading of Schubert’s “Unfinished” symphony.
