February 9, 2019
This evening of contrasting sentimental works was far too fiery to resound with echoes of the (Russian) soul.
BWW Review: LA TRAVIATA, Royal Opera House
January 15, 2019

March 30, 2018
Magical realism is supplanted by kitchen sink comedy-drama in this adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2002 hit novel of the same name.
BWW Review: CARMEN, Royal Opera House
February 7, 2018
