Locke’s List for 2023: Notable Operatic Recordings Plus
). I’m happy, once again, to be presenting here at the Boston Musical Intelligencer my personal selection of some of the most notable and engaging of the lot. Baroque era: I was delighted to get to know John Frederick Lampe’s The Dragon of Wantley (1737), in a highly accomplished and spirited recording. The work feels a bit like a successor to The Beggar’s Opera, not least in its pointed satire of social norms. (The work was just performed by the Boston Early Music Festival, though with a different cast and orchestra; the Boston Globe called the result “spellbinding.” Virtual tickets to watch the videorecording are available through December 23, 2023.) A recording of a serious English opera of the period, Matthew Locke’s Psyche, was musically marvelous but utterly undone for me by the mispronunciations of the libretto by the all-Francophone cast. No such problems occurred with Jean-Marie Leclair’s Scylla et […]

San Francisco Opera Opening Concert
Aleksandra Kurzak and Roberto AlagnaSFO opening night concertPhoto: Cory Weaver/San Francisco OperaStarting in 2021, San Francisco Opera switched from programming an opera for opening night to programming a concert. The last two years were great; 2021 featured the dynamic duo of Rachel Willis-Sørensen and Jamie Barton in a richly varied and delightful program; last year featured a bunch of different singers doing their thing, mostly marvelously. This year, we got returning soprano Aleksandra Kurzak and, in what Matthew Shilvock termed "a long overdue debut", Kurzak's husband, tenor Roberto Alagna.Alagna, you might or might not know, has been making headlines since the mid-1990s: the tragedy of his first wife's early death, leaving him a widower with a small daughter; his romance with soprano Angela Gheorghiu and their marriage on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera house, with officiant Rudy Giuliani, back in the days when Giuliani was hated for fewer reasons than now; the […]
