  3. Hasta, Alfredo: The Florida Grand Opera revives an old favorite

    The surprising virtue of Florida Grand Opera's 11th retelling of Verdi's "La Traviata" is that for all the performers singing high E's at the top of their lungs, for all their falling to their knees in sorrow or illness, and for all their oversize passions, it's believable.

  4. Dirty dancing at the Stage

    Even if the Florida Grand Opera's new experiment of smoldering tango music and vibrant opera singing goes off without a snafu, the most-surprised person in the room will be the production's own conductor, Ramon Tebar.

  5. It ain't over till the fit lady sings

    The moment that rising basketball star Jeanette Vecchione realized she wanted to be an opera singer came, awkwardly enough, during a high school basketball game, when she sang the National Anthem at half-court. So she traded basketball for the twinkling lights of the stage.

  6. To sleep, perchance to sing

    You don't have to be a musicologist or opera aficionado to recognize the stunning meld of emotion and technique in Rachele Gilmore's performance in the Florida Grand Opera's production of "La Sonnambula." When she falls to her knees at the front of the stage, picked out of the darkness by a few lights, and pours her heartache over the orchestra and into the audience, the utter silliness of the libretto vanishes, and listeners are transfixed by the seamless transmission of heart and head.

  7. Mozart for moderns

    In a classic opera depicting the battle between intellectual enlightenment and romanticism with allusions to ancient Masonic rituals, you don't expect a character to exclaim, "Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?"

  8. 'Tis the season for Columbia Pro Cantare's 'Messiah'

  9. Applauding Elizabeth Caballero

    Lyric soprano Elizabeth Caballero was, of all places, shopping in a Miami Home Depot when she got the call: The Berlin State Opera needed a last-minute replacement for the demanding, exhausting title role in Puccini's "Madama Butterfly." The Miami-based Cuban-American had less than a month to rehearse the three-act opus. Coincidentally, Caballero had just finished mounting that same production in September for the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, where, at curtain call on opening night, she dropped to her knees in tears under the weight of the audience's applause.

  10. A rhapsodic 'La boheme'

    It shouldn't work. Not anymore. Not in the 21st century. That time-worn plot, the one-dimensional characters, the unabashed sentiment. But Florida Grand Opera's production of "La bohème" underscores how Puccini's masterpiece remains a moving, even relatable experience after more than a century of familiarity, lampoons and Broadway adaptations.
