Dedication or The Stuff of Dreams - 2005 - Off-Broadway Articles Page 5

What did our critic think of EUGENE ONEGIN at Lyric Opera Of Chicago?

Our narrator, the greek god Hermes, was portrayed by Elijah Barlett. His strong vocals and charisma gets our attention and introduces us to the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. In addition to acting and singing, Jacob Cunningham, played the guitar as well for his performance of Orpheus. Caitlin Shorey portrayed the pain and hope of Eurydice with beautiful vocals, and she even handled a microphone issue with seamless ease of a professional. Deaglan Benson played the villain in this story, Hades, and his stoic and cold performance contrasted with Riley Fidler’s fun and warm performance of Persephone.

Few plays have sparked as much controversy as Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. First staged in 1879, its depiction of a woman rejecting the limitations imposed upon her shocked audiences and helped redefine modern drama. The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland's final-year BA Acting students now bring Stef Smith's Nora: A Doll's House to the stage, an adaptation that reframes the story across three distinct eras. Drawing striking parallels between past and present, Smith's version asks an uncomfortable question: how far have we really come?
