I Want Your Rex: DF reviews Oedipus Rex + Lilacs at Opera Philadelphia (for Parterre Box)

Opera Philadelphia returns to the stage with an honorable, if not entirely convincing, mixed program.

Katrina Lenk’s Bobbie channels an assertive female persona, but it doesn’t feel fully realized or convincing.

This short but powerful monologue, superbly delivered by Kirsten Quinn, exemplifies the strengths of Irish Heritage Theatre.

Zachary James delivers a thoughtfully crafted, blessedly restrained Quixote/Cervantes.

Adam Rapp’s elliptical meditation on grief and guilt ushers in a new era of in-person performances in Philadelphia.
