Dear Opera Lover,
Below is Anthony Tommasini's glowing review of Telemann's Orpheus, which opened Saturday at El Museo del Barrio. In today's New York Times, he proclaims, “the performance was exhilarating and the opera a revelation.” Please read the full review here, though for a quicker look, Tommasini summed up his impressions below:
“This is the first New York production of the little-known Orpheus, composed in 1726, which came to attention when a manuscript was discovered in 1978. The work is no historical curiosity but a beguiling and innovative
opera with an unabashedly eclectic score. Though simple, the
modern-dress production by the director Rebecca Taichman, with sets and
costumes by David Zinn, is at once fanciful and daring. Ms. Taichman draws nuanced and vulnerable performances from a young, attractive cast. Gary Thor Wedow conducts a lively chamber orchestra."
I also wanted you to see our new sneak peek video. The last one
focused on rehearsal footage, but this new one includes alluring shots
from the actual production, including the beautiful murals inside El
Museo del Barrio’s theater, towards the end.
Read, watch and enjoy!
All the best,
Bill Updegraff
