Cameron Kelsall reports on a transcendent Jenufa from the Cleveland Orchestra
The San Francisco Opera, perhaps incidentally, continued their exploration of operas based on literary works by mounting the revival of Giacomo Puccini’s first success, Manon Lescaut.
C-major has made available the first DVD/Blu-ray of Franco Faccio’s Amleto.
Janácek’s disconcerting commentary on youth and immortality received a full-throated performance.
The centerpiece of Janácek’s Jenufa was the performance of Karita Mattila as the murderous Kostelnicka.
This may be Karita Mattila’s greatest role.
With February 14th falling on a Sunday, there will be no Valentine’s Day Met performance this year.
