That’s a great ONP production that’s relatively easy to revive. It has been revived several times already and new casts seem to fit right in. As a matter of fact, it is programmed again for this...

Years ago La Cieca had a great review of Herheim's Rosenkavalier which described the effect of having a lot happening on stage:

In the second clip, you have three singers listed but not Amartuvshin.
In theater on this date: The first show to open on this date was an 1862 production of Balfe/Bunn’s The Enchantress directed by Peter Richings and starring his wife, Caroline, E.L. Davenport (who...

I don't know what you posted but it's not available in Israel.
While we're discussing this... Some people dismiss video on stage outright, but I don't see why. A production is good or bad - or somewhere in between. So are the various elements that...
