  • Opera Philadelphia Festival Returns

    Rossini's Otello Features Lawrence Brownlee

    By: Susan Hall - Sep 27th, 2022

    Opera Philadelphia brings Gioachino Rossini's Otello to the stage. Beethoven told Rossini that he should stay away from serious drama. It was not in his nature. That is not the only reason Rossini’s serious opera Otello has been largely ignored. When Verdi and Bioto wrote their Otello, it replaced Rossini’s in the repertoire. Now we can hear the glorious bel canto tenor Lawrence Brownlee and also Daniela Mack dazzle and emote as Rodrigo and Desdemona.

  • Antony and Cleopatra by John Adams

    San Francisco Opera

    By: Victor Cordell - Sep 17th, 2022

    The opera is set in the 1930s, offering shades of the Hollywood glamor and fascist depravity of that time.  This conceit does allow for the visual appeal of period newsreels projections and a more varied look in Constance Hoffman’s appealing and fashionable costumery, but the conceptual rationale for the time shift is unclear.

  • Moulin Rouge! The Musical

    Presented by BroadwaySF

    By: Victor Cordell - Sep 12th, 2022

    The appeal of the show draws on the naughty titillation of the fin de siècle cabarets that emerged in the steamy Montmartre district of Paris, where the working set, bohemians, and the demi-monde (the upper class who go slumming), sat side-by-side.  The Moulin Rouge marked the spiritual epicenter, where the can-can was originated and danced by courtesans.

    Produced by Aurora Theatre Company

    By: Victor Cordell - Sep 10th, 2022

    Some observers of Jonathan Spector’s brilliant new play on cognitive illusion will unconsciously tap into the allegory of the persistence of Trumpism. Kudos to Director Josh Costello for the masterful orchestration of the many moving parts of this complex production.  It is remarkable that a world premiere night could go off so smoothly with such a multitude of ways it could go wrong.
