DF Reviews Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Two Season-Opening Concerts (for Parterre Box)
In two concerts with wide-ranging repertoire, Yannick and the Philadelphia Orchestra offer an opening week to celebrate.
The Awkward Stage: DF Reviews Mitridate, Re di Ponto at Opera Philadelphia (for Parterre Box)
This production, directed by Emma Griffin, is both a “how to” and a “how not to” stage an opera seria.
CK Reviews Giulia: The Poison Queen of Palermo at PAC NYC
There’s much to enjoy here, but the apothecary hasn’t yet mixed the perfect brew.
CK Reviews Girl, Interrupted at the New York Public Theater
Susanna Kaysen’s memoir, rife with potential drama, feels surprisingly sedate here.
REVIEW: Cameron Kelsall on Ragtime
Ragtime holds a special place in my theatrical consciousness. So why did this revival leave me cold?
REVIEW: Cameron Kelsall on Becky Shaw
You won’t find a better time on Broadway this season than Gina Gionfriddo’s crackling comedy.
REVIEW: CK on Schmigadoon
Schmigadoon toes the line between sincerity and satire, but never lands firmly in either camp.
REVIEW: Cameron Kelsall on Fallen Angels at the Roundabout Theatre Company
Two good reasons to revive Fallen Angels: Rose Byrne, and Kelli O’Hara
CK Reviews Fidelio at the Cleveland Orchestra (for Parterre Box)
Don’t expect any sweeping statements from Franz Welser-Möst ‘s polished, if dramatically inert, Fidelio.
REVIEW: Two Strangers Carry a Cake, and Plenty of Baggage, Across New York
Charm counts for much in this chamber musical, on Broadway after a hit run in London.
