Center panel displays the opera being shown today. View from our seat in the fourth row. The pit is quite deep, I saw the conductor only occasionally. Looking back from our row. 25 rows in the main area, 40 seats each row. Our experience with Leipzig Opera started with two unexpected things. First was how small the auditorium is, it’s basically two levels, orchestra level with perhaps 1000 seats (Anne said 25 rows of 40), and balcony with 250. It is a good-sized building. Second […]

The upper depths
[…] opera and the Neapolitans, being the good Italian tenors they are, really aren’t comfortable on anything other than forte towards the top of the staff. So for quite a bit of their parts they sound troublingly weak. There’s also some pretty choreography from the corpo di ballo randomly executed on curtain up that may have needed a few more run-throughs. What’s the French word for scattershot? I was not familiar with the Uruguayan baritone Dario Solari but as Zurga, the leader of the fisherman, he gave the most consistent pleasure both vocally and dramatically all evening. A good thing too, since the staging makes his character the centerpiece of the story. He has a bright, forward sound with a good buzz and a nearly effortless legato line.

BU on the Fringes Again
[…] off of a Belgian folk competition over who owns the most melodious bird in the town. Music director Allison Voth and stage director E. Loren Meeker set the stage for what seems to be a rather simple competition, but is actually a journey into the minds of the competitors and their struggles with deception, loneliness, and love. Theatre O and Enda Walsh’s Delirium closes out the festival, October 22nd–25th. Hilarious, brutal, and tragic, director Jonathan Solari presents this radical re-interpretation of The Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky’s classic and compelling tale of family rivalries. The Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen. A hated father and his sons battle it out over women, money, and God. Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all, and, to the side, two beautiful women clinging into impossible loves. Learn more about the 19th Annual Fringe Festival here .
