Minnesota Opera Presents THE DREAM OF VALENTINO, Now thru 3/9
by BWW News Desk
- Mar 1, 2014
Minnesota Opera presents a major new revival of Dominick Argento's The Dream of Valentino as the sixth production of the New Works Initiative. A sultry young dancer is transformed from an unknown immigrant into a silent film sensation. Rudolph Valentino's stardom blazes across the silver screen but is quickly consumed by the same forces that ignited it. Seduction and scandal swirl in this tango-tinged opera about an artist discovered and destroyed by Hollywood. Composed by Argento with a libretto by Charles Nolte as a joint commission between Washington and Dallas opera companies, the work received its world premiere in 1994 at The Kennedy Center, where it was described by the Chicago Tribune as “visually and theatrically ... a thumping success.”

REVIEW: Meadow Brook Theatre Restores Faith in A CHRISTMAS CAROL
by Marisa Prano
- Dec 14, 2009
From what I could remember seeing the stage version of 'A Christmas Carol', by Charles Dickens, years ago I loved the classic tale that reminds us about the importance of the spirit of Christmas at this time of year. However recently being let down with Disney's film version of the show I wasn't overly excited to see this holiday story again so soon this season. I am pleased to say that after seeing Meadow Brook Theater's production of 'A Christmas Carol' my faith in the all time classic has been restored.
