BWW Review: THE ITALIAN GIRL IN ALGIERS at Winter Opera
There's that initial low, stealthy tip-toeing pizzicato, like a Warner Brothers cat creeping up on a clever mouse. Then an oboe slips in, and other woodwinds, some piccolo. Then (SURPRISE!) a racing, romping foretaste of the musical fun to follow. It's the utterly delicious overture to Giochino Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri-The Italian Girl in Algiers. It's another bright success in Winter Opera's long list of delights.

BWW Review: LA CENERENTOLA at JUDY Bayley Theatre
Cinderella has fled the royal ball having left her bracelet with the Prince as a remembrance. On June 8, 23018, Opera Las Vegas presented a jubilant version of Gioacchino Rossini's LA CENERENTOLA (CINDERELLA) in Las Vegas at the University of Nevada's Judy Bayley Theatre. Director Audrey Chait injected some form of comedy, often slapstick, into every possible situation and the result was an evening of one laugh after another.

BWW Reviews: The Union Avenue Opera's Production of LA FILLE DU REGIMENT
A romantic comic opera with militaristic undertones sounds like a rather odd juxtaposition of style and substance, but LA FILLE DU REGIMENT(Daughter of the Regiment) pulls off that feat with a delightful combination of tuneful melodies, along with a considerable amount of charm that's hard to resist. With their second offering of the season the Union Avenue Opera have produced a winning combination of mirth and merriment with their staging of this work.
