Gosh, I am surprised to see that I never posted anything about West Edge Opera's 2022 operas and the performances. They were all good! Giulio Cesare, Coraline, and, best of all, Dukas's extremely rare Ariane et Barbe-Bleu, with truly powerhouse performances by Renée Rapier as Ariane and Sara Couden as her nurse. I loved Turnage's Coraline, too; a quirky opera based on a quirky book and film.
The 2023 festival was originally announced as the new (commissioned by WEO) opera Bulrusher, but that has been postponed to 2024. Instead:
- Monteverdi, The Coronation of Poppea (aka L'incoronazione di Poppea)
- Schoenberg, Erwartung and Stravinsky, Le Rossignol
- Martinez, Cruzar la Cara de la Luna
