Dateline: Los Angeles Dorothy Chandler Pavilion/Music Center
For
the first time on a leading opera stage anywhere in the world, three
African American men who are Countertenors performed together in their
LA Opera Debuts in Barrie Kosky's innovative production of Henry
Purcell's Dido and Aeneas.
Cast creatively as
the iconic witches, John Holiday was featured The Sorcereress with her
"court": comprised of Darryl Taylor and Thomas Allen.
Beautiful,
brightly sung by all, this historic casting also featured creative and
well done comedic acting. A must see. Performances continue
through November 15th.
