REVIEW: From Russia with Love: Iolanta at Russian Opera Workshop (for Parterre Box)

A radiant performance showcased the exceptional work done here by gifted young singers.

Adams, superb at crafting arcs of sound, can’t handle characters or narrative.

Yannick and this magnificent orchestra were born for Bernstein.

This dispiriting, desultory revival essentially defines the difference between camp and kitsch.

But IRC’s wonderfully garish production is a must-see for Christopher Durang fans and others.

Paula Vogel’s well-meaning play is cast adrift in a sea of confusion and clichés.

As a cohesive evening of music drama, this ambitious double bill doesn’t quite add up.

A wonderful musical performance, hampered by a misguided production.

The audience at this vulgar show doesn’t care about Russian History. What they want is AnastasiaTM.

Scott Ellis’s busy production puts Porter’s sublime musical between a rock and a hard place.
