that would work. and the maids greet him with palms. oh wait ... wrong holiday
I also have a bit of history with the Opera Ensemble of New York...we should talk.
Couldn’t Orest enter Mycanae on a donkey?
My parents both used that phrase and also ‘Papers, papers!” My dad’s parents had been immigrants from violent lands and my mother, who worked with foundations that helped stateless immigrants after...
What a wonderful story! Thank you for posting. You know, when my mother hears something she doesn't like on the news she likes to say: "To this we've come!" in homage to this aria. Happy holidays...
I am suffering from a horrible cold I had been probably been fighting off most of the semester. In my congested lassitude, I was thinking of which operas contain Christmas elements, such as those...
When I worked as a costume designer in the 1980s, I worked for a small company called The Opera Ensemble which performed at the Lily Blake school on 81st St. and Madison Avenue. They did The Consul...

Corwin
Since the pandemic BAM has scaled back dramatically its presentations. However, this spring brings Paul Mescal in Streetcar and the Barrie Kosky 3Penny Opera, so perhaps things are looking up. The...
BAM, Chris Corwin thinks not. As to other places, they don’t say it’s a coproduction, and it’s quite a Paris-specific production concept, though I suppose that particular obstacle isn’t...
But a major flaw on the new ERATO Les Boreades.
Or Vickers don’t bother coming if you’re sick. I still giggle at that.
I think I may have been sitting next to you (or your husband) at the Grigorian recital and also happened to attend the final Frau. I totally concur with your assessment. Both were memorable,...
I found that POA Consul to be a tremendously moving production: well directed, perfectly cast, and enthusiastically received. Cariaga was really stupendous in her big scene. I met Chet Ludgin (who...
