REVIEW: Brimming with Life: Opera Philadelphia’s Verdi Requiem (for Parterre Box)

I’ve heard starrier performances, but none that made a more powerful case for this masterwork.

Cameron and David consider Lucy Kirkwood’s taut drama that considers how society reacts to a fallout of its own making.

Politics and culture here are ultimately filler, suggesting but not delivering dramatic weight.

Don’t miss this superb show, which returns for a run this December!

The great Amanda Schoonover makes the ordinary extraordinary.

They came, saw, and conquered… and I hope they return soon.

The Berta (mezzo-soprano Emily Damasco) runs away with the show.

Tina Fey’s satire of high school cliquishness ages uncomfortably into the social media era.

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.
