The occasional sprinkle of very light rain seemed to refresh rather than deter those dining on the lovely grounds. Again the theatre was packed to the rafters with eager opera lovers. They were not disappointed.

Review: WAITING FOR THE MARLBORO MAN at Upstream Theaterby Steve Callahan - St. Louis
(04/15/2024) - The remarkable Upstream Theater is approaching its twentieth season. This unfailingly excellent little company was founded by Philip Boehm as a vehicle for bringing to America plays from around the world—plays that, for the most part, make their very first American appearance at Upstream. We so need that!

Review: NAUGHTY MARIETTA at Kirkwood Performing Arts Centerby Steve Callahan - Opera
(03/11/2024) - Winter Opera continues it’s seventeenth season with another iconic operetta—Victor Herbert’s Naughty Marietta. This lovely old show premiered in 1910.

Review: DREAMING OF LEAR at Upstream Theaterby Steve Callahan - St. Louis
(03/11/2024) - DREAMING OF LEAR is a brilliant, memorable piece of leading-edge experimental theater. Its director, Lucy Cashion, has, I think, the most refreshing brain in the St. Louis theater world. It’s been a decade since she appeared on my horizon, and in that time she’s led a number of exciting productions. She joined the SLU faculty and has recently become Director of the school’s Theatre & Dance Program—a position which is virtually (and was perhaps literally) “made for her”.

Review: MANON LESCAUT at Winter Operaby Steve Callahan - Opera
(01/19/2024) - Gina Galati’s wonderful Winter Opera company continues its 17th season with Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. This work, which opened in 1893, was Puccini’s first great hit. It was rather daring of Puccini to present this piece, based as it was on a novel that had already been adapted to opera by two other composers—first by Daniel Aubert (1856), and then in a hugely successful work by Jules Massenet 1884.

Review: RAGTIME at Union Avenue Operaby Steve Callahan - Opera
(08/22/2023) - When the musical Ragtime was produced for Broadway in 1998 it was a colossal, big-budget show. It cost some ten million dollars. What in the world were the folks at tiny little Union Avenue Opera thinking when they decided to include this show in their twenty-ninth season? Ragtime, the musical treatment of E. L. Doctorow’s vast rambling nostalgic, wonderfully American novel, is far removed from opera.
Review: DON PASQUALE at Union Avenue Operaby Steve Callahan - Opera
(07/31/2023) - Scott Schoonover and his Union Avenue Opera have a long history (now twenty-nine years) of gathering remarkable operatic voices. Their current production of Donizetti’s Don Pasquale has voices that are astonishingly beautiful! It’s a work you should not miss! Two brilliant young stars—Christine Lyons (as Norina) and Namarea Randolph-Yosea (as Ernesto) will show you the real meaning of that mysterious term “bel canto”.

Review: CENTER STAGE at Opera Theatre Of Saint Louisby Steve Callahan - St. Louis
(06/22/2023) - It was a grandly exciting evening of opera! I “bravo”ed and shouted myself hoarse as the large troupe of singers took their bows—and so did the rest of this huge audienceWhat did our critic think of CENTER STAGE at Opera Theatre Of Saint Louis?

Review: TREEMONISHA at Opera Theatre Of Saint Louisby Steve Callahan - Opera
(05/23/2023) - Last Saturday Opera Theatre of St. Louis premiered a new adaptation of Scott Joplin’s legendary opera Treemonisha. It is a bright and worthy addition to our recent flurry of adoration of some of America’s major black composers; the Black Rep closed their stunningly fine evening of Eubie Blake’s music three days earlier.
Photos: First Look at GLORIA: A LIFE at The New Jewish Theatreby Blair Ingenthron - St. Louis
(05/14/2023) - The New Jewish Theatre will perform Gloria: A Life at the Wool Studio Theatre from June 1 to June 18. Written by acclaimed playwright Emily Mann, with guidance and participation from Gloria Steinem herself, Gloria: A Life explores the iconic feminist's legacy. Check out photos here!
Review: THE DESERT SONG at Winter Operaby Steve Callahan - Opera
(03/07/2023) - A stellar cast brightens a Romberg favorite. Operetta, as a genre, arose in the 1850's and swelled into a widely beloved form of entertainment. In America its chief luminaries were Sigmund Romberg, Victor Herbert, and Rudolf Friml. From the 1920's to the '40's the modern musical gradually drove operettas from the stage (except for the happily undying works of Gilbert & Sullivan). And I miss them! So I greatly approve of Winter Opera's offering us this old piece.

Review: LA RONDINE at Winter Operaby Steve Callahan - Opera
(11/25/2022) - Winter Opera has presented a truly gorgeous production of Puccini's La Rondine (The Swallow). Puccini is the supreme master of romantic melody, and in Rondine he outdoes himself. I love this opera, my heart having been beguiled early by one lilting, gently syncopated romantic waltz refrain that recurs again and again like the memory of a distant sweet infatuation.
Review: THE GOOD SHIP ST. LOUIS at Upstream Theaterby Steve Callahan - St. Louis
(11/14/2022) - The world premiere of 'The Good Ship St. Louis' is beautiful, theatrical, stylish, poetic, rich. It's a gracefully told tale of doomed refugees.
