Conducting a reduced version of his own opera, Matthew Aucoin's Eurydice still packs a big punch. 

Odyssey Opera’s convincing revival of flawed Pacini in Boston.

Helen of Troy is the theme for this half of Odyssey’s season, launched with Gluck's rarity. 

Odyssey Opera comes full circle closing its season “Trial By Fire“ with another opera rooted in Schiller’s Die Jungfrau von Orléans, Giovanna d’Arco. Verdi’s seventh opera is an uneven, retrograde effort which fails to mine further the rich vein he had struck in Ernani.

Muted portrayals dilute the danger of the work, but excellent singing saves the performance. 

Odyssey Opera gives the US première of the original three-act version of L'assedio di Calais, with every note Donizetti wrote in 1836.

Director Frank Kelly channels the inspired lunacy he displayed as a tenor to this production of Patience.

Once upon a time an intrepid youth showing off his precocious skills as a cyclist boasted, “Look, Ma, no hands!” The 16 year-old Mozart could well have been exclaiming the same as he composed Lucio Silla in 1772.
