	Chicago Opera Theater - Reviews
		Chicago Opera Theater, under new general director Brian Dickie, is preparing to remedy the situation.
		After selling out the Athenaeum Theater in July for Philip Glass' 1984 opera, "Akhnaten," they are going back almost four centuries to opera's birth, to Monteverdi's "Orfeo." Presented in 1607, it is generally considered to be the first surviving work in which the fledgling artform of opera really crystallized.
		But "Orfeo" is her first "official" opera, and she is relishing telling the story within the confines of Monteverdi's libretto and music.

		But today the opera star is prepping for an unusual gig: a small, almost nonsinging role in an obscure opera that's being staged in a barn-like structure in upstate New York.
		Simply, it was an opportunity to perform at the Glimmerglass Opera, a 29-year-old company whose rural simplicity belies its rising stature in the opera world.
		Glimmerglass, he says, has become known as "the American Glyndebourne" - the renowned opera festival in Sussex, England - because of its adventuresome repertory; intimate, state-of-the-art opera house; top-notch performances; and the intensive involvement of talented singers such as Maddalena each season.

	snarl_: Photos from Glimmerglass
		Our department trip to the Glimmerglass Opera was August 11, over a week ago, but this entry is coming a little late because I didn't want to post anything until I had some pictures available.
		The opera house itself was wonderful, as sensitive to its rural context as the targets of my previous post were not.
		Right angles were nowhere to be found in the lines of the floor and walls, a trick of forced perspective that exaggerated the depth of the set and lent a certain instability to the scene -- perhaps to mimic the inner turmoil of the main characters in Acts Two and Three.

	Opera of the Twentieth Century
		For decades Puccini's operas, with their lustrous melodies and brilliant use of stage technique, were looked down upon by certain critics, a tiresome situation that might finally be ending in the 21st century.
		During the 20th century operas in America and elsewhere began to resemble things -- for better or worse -- that were a far cry from Verdi, Wagner and Puccini.
		One bright spot in 20th century opera was the fact that some modern composers didn't forget that opera was, after all, about singing, and composed honest-to-goodness arias for the singers to perform.
