The Lord of Cries by John Corigliano Front Page
Commissioned by Santa Fe Opera

The more recent is Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” which has been used as the basis for operas before, but none have entered the repertoire. Adamo concludes that Stoker must have known the other contributing piece, Euripides’s “The Bacchae.”

The Presence of the Past
By: - Aug 18th, 2021One of the most accomplished artists of the Berkshire region, Pennie Brantley is displaying her crisply rendered painting at Real Eyes Gallery in September.

Exhibitions in New York and Maine
By: - Aug 14th, 2021Here Martin Mugar considers two abstract painters. The gesture of Forge is one of the traditional hand-application of the brush to canvas. The notion of a painting existing in time took on some meaning when I saw the show of David Row at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. It is probably one of the more perfect installations I have ever seen.

Hit and Run Sequel to Fauda on Netflix Front Page
Binged but Fauda-geddahboutit
By: - Aug 08th, 2021The two season Israeli series "Fauda" was a boffo smash on Netflix. Accordingly I binged on its more or less sequel "Hit and Run." The creative team jumped the pond to create an Israeli/ American production in English and Hebrew. In seeking a wider and American audience the team lost its Sabra base and churned out yet another mediocre action thriller. If you are a 'Fauda" fan this will be a major disappointment.
