Heidi Stober strikes up the band as a multidimensional and marvelous Marguerite!
Opera Review
Dissonance in the music, exceptional artistry and some dark humor give life to Scartazzini’s Edward II.
How worthwhile is it to have some Deutsche Oper Berlin veterans in this fine Da Ponte/Mozart opera?
My Throwback Thursday opera review with a very phenomenal production and very fine singing from Borodin’s most famous opera, Prince Igor, from the Met Live in HD.
This was the first time I have encountered such wonderful and illustrious singers, Alfredo Daza, Aurelia Florian, Xavier Cortes Steele, Francesco Ellero d’Artegna, Stephen Chambers and Raul Alonso, in this Verdi rarity at the Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt.
A grand success for Kristine Opolais, Katarina Dalayman, Jamie Barton, Brandon Jovanovich and Eric Owens for standing out brilliantly!
One of Györgi Ligeti’s most famous pieces of work comes to life at the Berliner Philharmonie.
We have a star-studded cast headed by Diana Damrau and Javier Camarena. How well do these veterans hold up?
When it comes to playing the hero and the heroines, how do Kerl, Markarova, and Zhidkova fare?
This review, despite its quality, was quite significant to me because it was the first time I saw the magnificent Camilla Nylund on stage in the role of Salome. Supporting her were Gerhard Siegel, Birgit Remmert and Albert Dohmen, truly phenomenal singers of the German repertoire. http://youtu.be/Nxl7IPby_qg?a
