Review: 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' from Orlando Philharmonic/Orlando Shakespeare Theater
Of course everyone knows music enhances the emotion of a story. Just imagine "Jaws" without that duh-na, duh-na, duh-na-duh-na-duh-na… Or Scarlett O'Hara vowing "Tomorrow is another day" without the melodramatic strains of "Tara's Theme." But I...

Orlando Philharmonic's 'Madama Butterfly,' directed by Robert Swedberg, features video projections
When the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra began presenting opera in 2009, it added a new wrinkle: The musicians would be onstage with the singers. The orchestra began mounting opera productions after Orlando Opera closed its doors. And while the now-...
