Review: CARMEN Sizzles with Akhmetshina Heading Stellar Cast at the Met
by Richard Sasanow - Jan 16, 2026
From her first appearance on stage, it was clear that mezzo Aigul Akhmetshina was no flash in the pan, giving us a scorching Carmen when this production was new just two years ago. The program describes the title character as “a force of nature” and that’s certainly what we got at the Met, in such arias as the Habanera (“L’amour est un oiseau rebelle”), the Seguidilla (“Pres des ramparts de Seville”) or in the opera’s Finale with Don Jose.

Review: LA BOHÈME at LA Opera
by Andrew Child - Dec 2, 2025
Herbert Ross’ production of Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème currently being presented by LA Opera has everything an audience venturing to the opera could hope for. When the curtain rises on Gerard Howland’s beautifully-textured scenery, one is instantly transported to a brutally cold winter scene speckled with the soft, orange glow tantalizingly emanating from windows.

Review: Met Season’s First DON GIOVANNI Shows Off a Great Score for the Audience to Relish
by Richard Sasanow - Sep 26, 2025
Mozart’s DON GIOVANNI was one of my first operas and remains among my favorites, despite its misogyny and the difficulty in putting together the kind of cast that can do justice to the string of show-stoppers in the score. The season's premiere of the opera had much to admire.
