BWW Review: Attend the Tale of SWEENEY TODD in Des Moinesâ€"the Perfect Evening After a Year Without Theatre
On June 27th, 2019, Des Moines Metro Opera announced its 2020 season to the public but what captured my attention was a barber's chair dimly lit by a window above it. There is only one show that this could have been, Stephen Sondheim's SWEENEY TODD. I had seen the recording of the original production, two filmed concerts, and the movie, but I was going to be able to see it live for the first time. I was extremely excited but then came COVID, which forced the opera to postpone its season. I was heartbroken—but then it was postponed to 2021 and used it as their season opener.

BWW Review: WOZZECK at Des Moines Metro Opera: A Thought Provoking Work of Art
Every so often, a production comes around that leaves you pondering about the show when it is done. For me, it's usually a jarring show that asks the audience to think about how we see things in the world, and if the way we see things can be adjusted or not. Des Moines Metro Opera's (DMMO) production of 'WOZZECK' was a production that will leave you thinking about a topic that is very prevalent in our world today, mental illness. This production deals with a character that is dealing with insanity. What this production does well is having the idea of insanity prevalent in multiple aspects of the show.

BWW Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Lobero Theatre
Opera Santa Barbara presented a musically dramatic rendition of THE CRUCIBLE. As an opera it struck the emotions with a stronger hammer than the play did with mere words. If you can be in Santa Barbara tomorrow afternoon, don't miss the performance at the Lobero Theatre.

BWW Review: THE MAGIC MARKSMAN Slightly Off Target
THE MAGIC MARKSMAN (DER FREISHÃœTZ) at George Mason University and present by Virginia Opera certainly offered a spectacle. Directed by Stephen Lawless, the show's well-crafted sets, designed by Benoit Dugardyn, brought you into the small German-esque town. The lighting, designed by Patricia Collins, was very interesting and truly set the scene. The music composition was absolutely beautiful; it was a great show to simply listen to.

Tulsa Opera to Present OF MICE AND MEN, 4/10-12
Tulsa Opera concludes its 67th Anniversary season with a continuation of the company's ongoing commitment to American and English language opera with the Oklahoma premiere of Carlisle Floyd's rendition of John Steinbeck's iconic novella Of Mice and Men on April 10 and 12 at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Presented on the 45th anniversary of the opera's world premiere, Of Mice and Men is a faithful retelling of one of America's most celebrated works of literature, an intimate saga of two Depression era workers' struggle for survival and the dream of owning their own farm. Carlisle Floyd is one of the nation's most revered opera composers, known for his early masterwork Susannah and, more recently, Cold Sassy Tree.

American Symphony Orchestra Presents FORGED FROM FIRE at Carnegie Hall Tonight
World War One is often, and rightly, seen as the schism that shattered the old world order - the class systems, international balances of power, the domestic balance between men and women. What is less discussed, however, is the way that many of these seismic changes were expressed by and affected music. Composers found their whole world-view, the core of what drove them to write, shattered and reshaped. And their audiences found new resonances in their music. Because music at that time wasn't just music - it was a way of making sense of a chaotic world. A century on, Leon Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra present a fascinating, powerful look at that period in 'Forged From Fire' at Carnegie Hall tonight, May 30 at 8pm.
