REVIEW: Lenny and God: Philadelphia Orchestra’s Music of Faith (for Parterre Box)

Together, Bernstein’s Kaddish and Rossini’s Stabat Mater made for one of Philadelphia Orchestra’s finest concerts in recent memory.

A charming and unusual song program showcased AVA’s rising group of singers.

Two highly satisfying evenings, more evenly drawn than I had expected.

Singing doesn’t get better than this.

Ensemble coordination is this production’s greatest achievement, along with some fine individual contributions.

A mixed bag of a production, but some singing of significant promise.

Trafalgar’s enjoyable filmed stage production preserves a star turn that should be seen.

Chas Rader-Shieber’s conflation was simultaneously over-conceptualized and insufficiently thought through.

Two final events at O18 sum up the wonders of this extraordinary festival.

Blythe’s virtuosity actually anchors the show to opera; Martha not so much.
