A Good Season for Chamber Opera

Cal Performances has Britten's Albert Herring and Rape of Lucretia, both conducted by Lorin Maazel. LA Opera has The Turn of the Screw, with Patricia Racette as the Governess and William Burden as Quint (James Conlon conducts). And now Ensemble Parallèle announces that they'll be staging Philip Glass's Orphée next February at Herbst Theater. Wow!
