Maestro Karen Kamensek opened the Lincoln Center Festival Orchestra’s concert at Geffen Hall—“Paris to Patagonia”—with some interesting introductory remarks that almost sounded like an audition for the Philharmonic’s storied Young People’s Concerts.

Full disclosure: I usually don’t review opera. I am a Broadway kid at heart, and while I appreciate the form, opera is usually not my cup of tea. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the Santa Fe Opera’s production of Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, playing now through August 5 at the iconic opera house on the hill in beautiful Santa Fe, NM.

Spoleto Festival USA's bipolar weekend of WHITE BOX and POLAR BEAR & PENGUIN was an admirable pairing for young and old -but not as grippingly theatrical as the world premiere staging of Benjamin Britten's opera, THE TURN OF THE SCREW, retelling the ghostly Henry James novella under the direction of Rodula Gaitanou
Often a modern take on a classic will go awry, but Michael Sexton’s brilliant vision creates a phenomenal retelling of Hamlet. His collaboration with his actors and designers gives this production it very cool retro and jazzy vibe. The show’s running time clocks in at just under three hours.
