Interview: Nicolas Reveles of San Diego Opera's Production of GHOSTS at The Balboa Theatre
by Ron Bierman - January 24, 2023
Recently retired Nicolas Reveles was the face of San Diego Opera for 40 years, known to most opera-goers primarily because of his informative and entertaining pre-performance talks. I suspect few in the audience knew he was also an opera composer, a choir director and a piano prodigy. In an hour discussion via Zoom, we spoke about his background and how he came to write GHOSTS, a three-act opera that the San Diego Opera will premiere in March. GHOSTS echoes a scene from SEXTET, an earlier work he’d written on commission for San Diego’s Diversionary Theatre. The scene reflected his love for the horror genre.

Review: Exquisitely Subtle CARMELITES Makes Another of Its Brief Stops at the Met
by Richard Sasanow - January 20, 2023
I’ve heard the opera a number of times at the Met over the years and this year’s run holds up with the most breathtaking of them.

It's the John Dexter production that does it.
