Nearly fifty years on, this new production was eagerly awaited, if more for Barenboim than for director Vincent Huguet, whose previous contributions towards this Berlin Da Ponte ‘trilogy’ (see hereand here) have generally been considered disappointing at best. Alas, Barenboim, whose incendiary conducting of Peter Mussbach’s production here on Unter den Linden in 2007 remains one of my Mozart operatic highlights, had to withdraw, replaced by Staatskapellmeister Thomas […]

[…] Adding a lot of dramatic interest to both casts was the peasant couple of Zerlina (Kacie Kenton and Maxwell Porterfield) and Masetto (Harrison Cooke and Tyler Padgett), engaged to be married but nevertheless set upon and challenged by Giovanni. Both pairings had impressive vocal strength and added a different layer of romantic interest to the mix. With a simple set of arches and an upstage door backed by a cyc, Marvel and lighting designer Kristen Geisler wisely chose to differentiate the scenes and reflect their dramatic tone and locale through color. I must admit that the scene of Don Giovanni’s demise in which he is to be dragged to the fires of hell by the Stone Statue of the Commendatore left me a little cold. In this case, Giovanni is pushed into a casket-like prop by hellish creatures, where he subsequently drops out of sight. Altogether somewhat anticlimactic, but the […]

[…] who believes she is Amelia Earhart. Frady’s performance was, simply stated, a sensational theatre experience. Matching her vocal characterization was an almost uncanny ability to dramatically transform her face, and her persona, from softness and gentleness, to angst-ridden and depleted. James Marvel directed. Thanks to the Square Room’s technical capabilities, Marble City Opera was at last able to add some badly needed visual enhancements to their productions—namely lighting and scenic support. Video images by Kristin Geisler were subtly suggestive and intriguing. The inherent atmospheric beauty of Delinger’s score was superbly handled by the instrumental ensembles under the direction of Gene Peterson. However, one obstacle remains in Marble City Opera’s use of instrumental forces—how to balance the volume of the ensemble against singers in smaller venues where an orchestra pit, or muting capability, does not exist. Even underplaying, the ensemble overwhelmed the singers at times, particularly in Talk to Me Like […]
