A Worthy Butterfly On It's Own Terms - [19 Jul 2009]
I don't believe in comparing stage performances of operas with filmed versions and this Butterfly is a very good example why. Film allows so much more latitude for obvious reasons yet the amazing thing is, directors don't often take advantage of it. In...

Butterfly, The Movie - [22 Sep 2008]
I've seen Butterfly at San Francisco, Lyric Opera of Chicago and at numerous other venues, so it's an opera whose nuances I think I know pretty well. I cannot imagine any performance that I've ever seen of any opera that didn't have something I wished...
