Review: SOFT POWER at Signature Theatre
by Pamela Roberts - Aug 16, 2024

Soft Power at Signature Theatre, is lush and polished, wacky and worrisome, absurdist and cautionary. It’s a tightrope of high political stakes and a zany montage of the US and China. As we head into high season of the 2024 election, the timing is perfect for staging the recently revised musical by David Henry Hwang and Jeanine Tesori.

BWW Review: FIDELIO at the Met �" Not THE MET �" Proves Beethoven's Only Opera Is No Museum Piece
by Richard Sasanow - Feb 16, 2022

Thanks to the efforts of Heartbeat Opera, which performed its revised version at New York’s Met Museum this past weekend (before a short tour), we can see the forest for the trees, with many of the work’s problems dealt with in a surprisingly effective way and the story brought up to date without destroying its integrity.
