Review: THE FLYING DUTCHMAN at Metropolitan Opera
by Peter Danish - June 02, 2023
Thomas Guggeis, the young German conductor making his Met debut, is Kapellmeister at the Staatsoper Berlin and the designated Generalmusikdirektor of the Oper Frankfurt; pretty impressive for one who has yet to hit his 30th birthday! His Met debut was justly anticipated, as across Europe he is known as something of a Wagner and Strauss specialist. His performance was well-paced and well-colored and energetic. The score provides for enormous surges of energy and power, and the orchestra was certainly up to the task, but Guggeis’ rendition while quite good, was perhaps a tad lacking in thrills – the magnificent Wagner bombast was a little timid and the quieter passages were lovely but just a bit bland. With time and more experience with this orchestra, one can safely expect some exceptional performances in the future.

Review: On Site Opera's TABARRO Brings Noir Puccini to New York's South Street Seaport
by Richard Sasanow - May 17, 2023
IL TABARRO has a special relationship to New York, since it’s the only Puccini to premiere here at the Metropolitan, in 1918. While it’s only the first third of the trio of short operas that go by the title IL TRITTICO, no one attending the other night’s performance by On Site Opera in partnership with the South Street Seaport Museum should have felt short-changed. It definitely felt like an evening’s worth of opera--and a fine one.
