		She realized that the free performance of Carmen by Boston Lyric Opera — of which she is general director — was drawing a bigger crowd than the 5000 people she’d expected.
		We’ve talked to the [Boston] Ballet for some years, because we share many, many of the same requirements; as a matter of fact, there’s very little that we don’t share, except for the need for the kind of dance floor they have, that could be laid on the stage.
		That we’re not where we want to be eventually, but God, we’ve grown in 13 years from a $200,000 company that no one paid attention to, to a $7.5 million company that’s considered to be one of the leading and best-run and most-exciting companies in the country.

		Most people who want to go — because they love opera, or are just curious about it — can’t afford three-figure prices (this year BLO has a four-opera subscription in the last rows of the Shubert Theatre balcony for only $122, though a subscription for the very best seats goes as high as $608).
		BLO raised a million dollars for these two free Carmen performances, and it made a considerable outreach effort.
		It also didn’t hurt that the opera in question is one of the most deservedly popular in the repertoire.

		The Boston Lyric Opera’s production caters to this crowd, with the singers and the orchestra delivering a first rate musical performance under the direction of Stephen Lord.
		She is definitely a rising star in the opera world, and will have her own recital as part of this season’s celebrity series.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Sumptuous `Traviata' Shines on a Grand Scale
		Under the baton of BLO Music Director Stephen Lord, the Boston Lyric's in-house orchestra proved their worth as a tightly focused ensemble that rarely overpowered the singers.
		She pulls off coloratura singing--that ornamented style of singing with lots of extra notes, scales and vibrato thrown in for effect that is so easily botched by less capable and confident sopranos--remarkably well, jumping up and down the scale and throwing in lots of trills and other musical treats with consumate ease.
		Looking at what Boston Lyric can do with their first show in a new venue, it's understandable that they are one of the fastest-growing opera companies in the world.

		Bruno Schwenglâs sets and costumes (originally designed for Opera Colorado) and Paul Palazzoâs lighting were so lovely that one nearly neglected to notice how wonderfully they mirrored the emotional tempo of the story by their subtle shift to increasing darkness and density.
		BLO veteran Frank Kelley again revealed his great comic gifts, nearly stopping the show as a Triquet doddering in manner and vibrato.

	Boston Lyric Opera will perform Machover's 'Resurrection' - MIT News Office
		For his opera, "Resurrection," Machover, professor of music and media in the Media Lab, used his trademark "hyperinstrument" electronics, adding rhythmic punch, melodic embellishment, delicate texture and enhanced bass to the sonic palette.
		From Nov. 7-20, the Boston Lyric Opera presents the Boston premiere of "Resurrection," with a libretto written by music and theater arts Lecturer Laura Harrington.
		Commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera, which premiered it in 1999, "Resurrection" is based on Leo Tolstoy's final novel, an unusual love story between a prince and a serving girl whose fates become intertwined when the prince sits on the jury that unjustly condemns the woman to prison.

		The premiere was mounted in French at the Opera-Comique, and conforms to the tradition of this house in its use of spoken dialogue along with the musical numbers.
		She has been heard frequently at the Metropolitan Opera, where she created the role of Florestine in Corigliano's "The Ghost of Versailles." Her professionalism was very evident in her characterization of Marie.
		Her even mezzo-soprano sound was a delight throughout, as was her comic flair; yet she was also able to convey the frailty and inner conflicts of this character, who is at once the heavy and the saving grace of the opera.

	Concert Reviews
		The newly formed Bostonian Opera and Concert Ensemble (the Bostonians for short), with founder and artistic director Richard Conrad at its helm (see the interview), presented a rare musical event of excerpts from Wagner’s entire operatic oeuvre plus two of his piano pieces.
		Last Friday’s performance at the Boston Lyric opera may have reinstated the 1853 costuming but the casting was good enough to bring down the house.
		However, this is a minor flaw and I soon adapted to it as the opera’s intense lyricism cascaded over me. In some scenes, he acts a bit stiffly, such as the conclusion of Act Two with his father.

		Mezzo-soprano Phyllis Pancella as Isabella, with chorus, in the BLO´s "L´Italiana in Algeri."
		It is true that Rossini's best comic opera is the last one you've heard, but "L'Italiana" is in a league of its own: Musically, it is more sophisticated and complex than his perennial favorite, "The Barber of Seville"; the plot has strong patriotic and feminist overtones; and comdeically, it is more offbeat and wacky.
		It is a voice more suited to lyric roles, and she was strongest in legato music like the "Per lui che adoro." The voice lacked the flexibility and the true high extension to really dazzle in scenes like the "Pensa alla Patria," where the coloratura was approximated, and not cleanly articulated.

		The question on the minds of many was whether or not the BLO could successfully contain the epic proportions of the work within the confines of the Shubert theatre stage.
		The minimalist set sufficed for almost all of the scenes, except for Act II, scene 1, in Amneris’ chamber, in which the princess’ apartments were reduced to a loose-hanging swatch of drapery hung in the center of the stage, around which the female chorus awkwardly meandered.
		Though the solo singers in BLO’s “Aida” were surprisingly good, they lacked that last degree of distinction that would have brought their characters to life in a visceral way.
