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.

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.
