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.

Festival O19 ended on a sweet note, connecting Opera Philadelphia with the city and our musical future.

In this intriguing but confounding theater piece , creator Joseph Keckler wants to have his cake and eat it too.

This superb chamber-sized two-hander has a monumental, shattering impact.

Once again, the audacious Opera Philadelphia folks are playing without a net.

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.

What R. B. Schlather’s visually arresting production has to do with the opera remains a mystery.

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

Two final events at O18 sum up the wonders of this extraordinary festival.
