Past Production Reviews
2[The premiere of Twilight: Gods] "...radiated an inventiveness that, even in a normal year, would have made it one of the most inspired American opera productions of the season."
While nothing will ever supplant the power of traditional opera performed on a stage and the fusion of colliding elements in “Twilight: Gods” can be unwieldy at times, this inventive mix of old and new is eye-opening, transporting and just plain cool. At the same time, Lyric Opera’s first in-person production since COVID-19 protocols were imposed more than a year ago is an incredibly ambitious undertaking. The sometimes moribund opera world needs jolts of innovation and originality like this, and the company and all the participants deserves big kudos for taking it on.
