BWW Opera Review: MASTERVOICES Strikes a Masterful Chord with Dido and Aeneas
by Christina Pandolfi - May 02, 2016
A heavenly aura flooded through the regal New York City Center this past Thursday night at the MasterVoices premiere of Henry Purcell & Nahum Tate's baroque opera, Dido and Aeneas. With a full orchestra, the MasterVoices choir, and the Doug Varone and Dancers company, this unique production created a majestic escape of light, sound, and movement for audience-goers. But the crème de la crème was the other-worldly talents of lead vocalists Kelli O' Hara & Victoria Clark, both geniuses in their own right, as they created the perfect balance of good and evil, sweet and sinful through every note.

Rhymes With Opera to Close 2015-16 Season with Screening of ADAM'S RUN
by BWW News Desk - April 29, 2016
RHYMES WITH OPERA concludes its 2015-16 season with the world premiere screening of composer Ruby Fulton and librettist Baynard Woods' new full-length video opera Adam's Run. The opera is a dark comedy which takes place in a dystopic future world, where climate change has made the weather entirely chaotic and unpredictable. People are obsessed with watching the weather but predictions are impossible and two television show hosts vie for that market. When Julie visits the Reverend at his weather research outpost in South Carolina (nicknamed The Ark), each find themselves magnetically drawn to the other despite their ideological differences. Television producer Dana Daring tells their story, recalling the tale in a series of news magazine-style flashbacks.
