Review: The Met’s Lively ‘Fedora’ Leads It Out of a Dismal Month

Absent from the Met for a quarter of a century, Giordano’s rare verismo potboiler starred glamorous Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva in the title role of a fiery rich widowed Russian princess whose bad decisions about her complicated love life result in her hasty suicide during the opera’s closing moments. She and Polish tenor Piotr Beczala as dashing Count Loris Ipanoff enthusiastically embraced the hoary turn-of-the 20th century melodrama, one rife with damning letters and fatal misunderstandings. Their flamboyant charisma heated up the old-fashioned work, especially in a passionate love duet that brought the second act to a blazing conclusion.

Metropolitan Opera 2022-23 Review: The Hours

In 2012, Kevin Puts’s “Silent Night” won the Pulitzer Prize for Music. And following that victory, the opera, which premiered in Minnesota in 2011, seemingly toured all over the country getting performances at Arizona Opera, Utah Opera, Washington National Opera, Austin Opera, Opera San Jose, Philadelphia, Calgary, Kansas City, Fort Worth, and even in Ireland.

But somehow, it never arrived at the Met Opera (OperaWire did make a case for the work when the company announced that Yannick Nézet-Séguin would be taking over the music director position with a goal of bringing new opera). However, Kevin Puts has finally been given his shot in the limelight with his new opera “The Hours,” which received its staged world premiere on Nov. 22, 2022.

Sondra Radvanovsky Reigns Supreme in Cherubini’s Masterwork Tragedy

The Metropolitan Opera opened its 2022-23 season with the company’s first-ever performance of Cherubini’s “Medea.”

The opera, which premiered in a French version back in 1797, was a major hit throughout the 19th century (with numerous translations, including the Italian one on offer at the Met) until it fell into seclusion, only to be rescued in the 20th century by one Maria Callas, whose interpretation remains the touchstone to this day.

Quote from
The New York Times
Nadine Sierra Is a Force of Nature as Violetta in ‘La Traviata’ at the Met Opera

Michael Mayer’s 2018 fairy-tale production of La Traviata starts as a ghost story. The actors are posed in what we eventually realize will be the final tableaux. Violetta lies dead, but as the overture sighs around her, she rises up, a dead woman walking, leaves her bed empty, and disappears with a little smile upstage, before the party scene bursts forth and the story begins.
