REVIEW: The Opposite of Sex: Le Nozze di Figaro at the Academy of Vocal Arts (for Parterre Box)

The production is a mixed bag, but it shows the high vocal standard of AVA’s current artists.

Marina Carr’s gorgeous play both honors the great Irish tradition, and boldly breaks new ground.

David and Cameron explore this charming new play, lit up with old fashioned star power.

By the time we’re meant to care deeply about these characters, I’d had more than enough of them.

At its most antic, this production looks less like Buried Child than Buried… with Children.

David and Cameron consider 15 promising young singers, vying for a prestigious prize.

So much doctrine; so little insight.

Festival O19 ended on a sweet note, connecting Opera Philadelphia with the city and our musical future.

Seeing this exercise in naval-gazing on the eve of impeachment feels like the theatrical equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.

It’s as if the show has gone from the page to the stage… and back again to the page.
