"It’s in the stillness that we find truth"

It's cold out there, but you can still thaw out your heartstrings at Benjamin Britten's exquisite and otherworldly operatic parable, Curlew River this weekend!

"Pittsburgh Opera’s production of Curlew River is indeed a spiritual experience, moving and vulnerable," raves onStage Pittsburgh, who found the performance "...so intimate and otherworldly that it gives me goosebumps. For a moment, I forget where I am."

"I’m fighting back tears when I’m conducting and experiencing this moment," said maestro Antony Walker in a recent interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Like the best operas, the music and the drama will go to your heart."

Written in the style of monastic plain song (sung in English) and laden with musical symbolism, the candle-lit theatrical simplicity of Curlew River rings with grandeur at Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside for one final weekend.

Two performances remain!

Sanctified Explores Through Music How Diverse Attitudes are Transformed into an Inspired Unity

While this is a fairly obvious observation, this thought became especially poignant when, over a period of less than 24 hours, when I found myself on board a battleship in late 18 th century Portsmouth, England, then, 17 hours later, walking into a small Black church in rural South Carolina in the present day. The vehicles for this geographic time travel to places and times worlds apart were Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera, “H.M. S. Pinafore” and playwright Javon Johnson’s “Sanctified.” Both works, while musical comedies with morals to the story, came from diverse and rich cultural backgrounds. I’ve already published my review of Pinafore on my arts and enterta...

Martello/18ricco If you’d want to experience a good example of how those in power use fear as a tool of subjugation, you might want to reserve a ticket or two for the world premiere production of Art of the Wise . The play, the fifth in playwright Mark Clayton Southers’ series of ten works, each set in a different decade of the 19 th century, centers on two families living on a cotton plantation in 1822 Deep South Alabama. Jenny Malarkey, Joseph McGranaghan* and Maddie Kocur The slave owning Wise family is shown in marked contrast to their enslaved cotton field workers, who, as was the custom, took the surname of their master. In the past I’ve said that playwright Southers is one heck of a story teller, and his latest opus follows suit by having a strong narrative that’s both intricately written, intensely entertaining and emotionally rousing. The drama wastes n...
