Momentum Mori — DF Reviews Don Giovanni at Opera Philadelphia (for Parterre Box)

A musically strong, theatrically questionable production closes the Opera Philadelphia season.

Morley and Moore in a mixed program, brilliantly conceived and superbly performed.

Emma Griffin’s “Go big or go home” production scores a win for Bernstein’s musical/operetta.

The American debut of a truly great singer and recitalist is cause for rejoicing.

Opera took center stage on the final weekend of the Philadelphia Orchestra season.

This superb production by Curtis Opera Theatre would be a credit to any opera company anywhere.

This production delivers an intriguing mix of conceptual ideas that sometimes scores powerfully.

A rewarding effort for audiences and, one presumes, for AVA’s talented artists.

It seemed like such a great idea on paper.

Ah, that Bernstein dichotomy.
