Miami Music Festival / Reseñas

Modern technology and opera melded seamlessly when the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival presented an immersive production of Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortileges (as part of a double bill with Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi) Saturday night in the ballroom of Temple Emanu-El in Miami Beach. Festival director Michael Rossi’s mappings engulfed the staging’s backdrop and the walls around the space for a surround immersive experience of cinematic proportions.

Freia the goddess of youth, was elegantly sung by Stephanie DePrez. As Donner, the god of thunder, Hunter Enoch proved a dramatic presence, and William McCullough displayed a clarion voice as Froh.
