BWW Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at The Santa Fe Playhouse
Oscar Wilde's 1895 satire, The Importance of Being Earnest, is arguably his most popular, and almost definitely his most widely performed, work. Director Barbara Hatch's director's note references the daunting nature of taking on the challenge of producing such a beloved and well known work; it is m...

BWW Review: THE REVOLUTIONISTS at The Adobe Rose Theatre

BWW Review: UNCLE VANYA at The Oasis Theatre Company
Several years ago, I attended a production of The Cherry Orchard. Before the show began, a castmate of mine from another production leaned over from the row behind me and whispered to me, almost conspiratorially, that 'Chekhov is.....challenging', with the apparent implication that she hoped the act...

BWW Review: ARIADNE AUF NAXOS at Santa Fe OPERA
ARIADNE is an opera that shows the beauty of great voices and this cast had plenty to offer. Amanda Echalaz, whose voice has significant heft to it, sang Ariadne with beautiful rose velvet tones. She was a bit of a witch in the prologue, but in the opera, her voice rolled out over the audience like ...

BWW Review: ALCINA at Santa Fe Opera
George Frideric Handel composed the opera seria, ALCINA, for a 1735 premiere at London's Covent Garden.
