  1. Lyric's kid-friendly 'Pasquale' delights grownups too

    "Don Pasquale" isn't exactly the first show that springs to mind when you're looking for an opera to hook young children on opera. Look a little closer, however, and you realize Donizetti's tuneful score is very kid-friendly. And what sitcom-weaned child isn't prepared to giggle whenever grownups behave foolishly?

  2. 'La Boheme' star Ana Maria Martinez is no diva offstage

  5. Lyric Opera's 'Werther' staging sometimes off the rails, but singing is gloriously on track

    Jules Massenet's "Werther" is a staple of the European opera house repertory, but its Goethe-inspired protagonist remains an infrequent visitor to American shores. Despite the fact that the opera received its American premiere in Chicago, in 1894, Lyric Opera has ventured it only twice, the last time 34 years ago, when Alfredo Kraus reprised the super-stylish portrayal he introduced at the company premiere in 1971.
