Rossini's rarely performed Armida has its Met premiere on April 12 with a gala performance of Mary Zimmerman's new production.

'IDOL' WATCH: The Top 12 Women
by Jeff Dennhardt
- Feb 24, 2010
In a year where 'Idol' is clearly pushing for a female winner, the first performances by the top twelve women was quite a letdown.

There is much gladness and gaiety coming from the Center House Theatre. Book-It closes their season with an inspired adaptation of Edith Wharton's classic 1905 novel about wealth, sex, and manners. Under the confident direction of Jennifer Jones, this House of Mirth is a cerebral wonder. A stunning leading performance highlights one of the best offerings of the year.
