Review: COSÍ FAN TUTTE at LA Opera
by Andrew Child - Mar 11, 2025
Whether thanks to Cavanagh’s approach or director Shawna Lucey’s reinventions, the opera never seems to warrant excuse or apology. Justin Austin and Anthony León never miss a chance for silliness, strutting about the stage with ridiculous levels of machismo to match their preposterous mustache disguises.

Review: FIDELIO at Kennedy Center
by David Friscic - Oct 28, 2024
The Washington National Opera’s production of Beethoven’s Fidelio is a triumph of elegant, efficient style and directorial finesse. Director Francesca Zambello re-invigorates the somewhat uninspired libretto by Joesph Von Sonnleithner with a vigor and intelligence that envelops this tale of valor, commitment, courage, and conscience.
