A New Operaspective

Review: Simon Bore the Cross

May 4, 2022May 4, 2022 Peter SzepReview

by Gregory Moomjy As a die-hard classical music fan, the phrase “museum piece” drives me crazy. I hate the fact that the general public has this idea that classical music is simply a bunch of old pieces from hundreds of years ago that get dusted off again and again and again to be played exactly the…Continue reading Review: Simon Bore the Cross

Review: Lucia Di Lammermoor

April 28, 2022May 2, 2022 Peter SzepReview

By Gregory Moomjy Anyone who knows me, knows the story about how I was three years old when I was introduced to opera by a VHS tape of the magic flute as I was recovering from major back surgery.

However, an unfortunate drawback of their ubiquitous…Continue reading Review: Rigoletto

REVIEW: Considering Matthew Shepard

November 14, 2021November 15, 2021 Peter SzepReview

by Gregory Moomjy Say the word oratorio in casual conversation and chances are Handel & Mendelssohn are the first names to come to mind. The classic oratorios by those composers are typically centered on Biblical figures like Samson, Deborah, and Elijah, or early Christian saints like Theodora of Antioch. It is rare to find an…Continue reading REVIEW: Considering Matthew Shepard
