REVIEW: That’s How They’ve Done It: Cosi Fan Tutte at Academy of Vocal Arts (for Parterre Box)

Fine voices and musical values here far outshine a cliché-ridden production.

Lerner and Loewe’s “lost” musical is a wonderful oddity that should be better known.

Robert Carsen’s 28-year-old production comes to America. It was worth the wait.

Seen here, an old fashioned but endearing musical becomes a Trumpian fantasia.

AVA’s Rusalka—a rare venture into the Slavic repertoire—left a divided impression.

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.

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.
