Sher on this shining night
[…] a fine Queen Mab ballad in the first act. Also effective and a remarkable sword fighter was Jason Slayden’s Tybalt. Another Lyric debutante, Marianne Crebassa as Stephano, was delightful and sang with abandon. Let’s hear more from her. As usual with Lyric’s large-cast operas, the smaller roles were mostly undercast with youthful singers from the Ryan Opera Center. Phillip Horst was all bluster but no substance as Lord Capulet; David Govertson as the Duke, Takaoki Onishi as Paris, Anthony Clarke Evans as Gregorio, and Mingjie Lei as Benvolio simply looked uncomfortable on the stage and sang with no particular distinction. Yet the evening on the whole was quite a pleasant one. Sher’s direction kept the story moving forward, and there were many pleasing details in the performances that kept Gounod’s sentimental score from becoming cloying.

MIMC Day 2: Korean Tenor Kim Wins 2015 MIMC
[…] rien ne m’épouvante” from Bizet’s Carmen and “Porgi amor” from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. It would not be worth mentioning but the mannerism produced strident “old lady” high notes, which detracted from her musical line and characterization. In her middle range when she kept her head looking forward, she produced lovely round tones that she showed off in Mimi’s aria from Puccini’s La Boheme and Rachmaninov’s “Ne poy krasavitsa, pri mne.” Japanese baritone Takaoki Onishi had me captivated in his opening Mahler Lieder eines farenden gesellen, at least in the first three songs. Unfortunately, he over sang in the dramatic third song (two phrases contained sustained high Gs), and his intensity faded in the fourth song. It went downhill from there. In the next aria from Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte, he came in early and he cracked towards the end. His aria “Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen” from Korngold’s Die […]
