Independent Opera's “The Stone Guest” is revelatory, L.A. Opera's 'Romeo and Juliet' is exhilarating and Pacific Opera Project's super-rare production of 'Don Bucefalo' proves a nutty delight.
If Los Angeles has a reputation for opera, it is as an outlier, a city freed from encrusted tradition and eager to invent. Long Beach Opera, the Industry and the Los Angeles Philharmonic have together created an enviable engine for remaking opera. In the recently published “A New Philosophy of Art” by Industry founder Yuval Sharon, two chapters titled “Toward an Anti-Elite Opera” and “Breaking the Frame” offer an excellent introduction to opera L.A. style.
It’s gotten away with it again — this time with the company debuts of a handsome, exhilarating pair of lovers, tenor Duke Kim and Amina Edris. Taking over the original production, choreographer Kitty McNamee, in her first attempt at opera direction, brought a breath of fresh air by moving everyone onstage, including the chorus, with grace and flare. Despite the operatic odds in this work, the lovers provided consuming rapture. The fight scenes dazzled.
