Opera review: Cuts to 'John Brown' would make it gripping

With the volatile mix of race, religion and politics stirred up in the presidential primaries, the new opera introduced Saturday by Lyric Opera of Kansas City is unexpectedly au courant.

Exploring the run-up to the Civil War, Kansas-born composer Kirke Mechem's John Brown is peopled by Frederick Douglass and Lt. J.E.B. Stuart as well as the eponymous and still-controversial abolitionist. With some compression and dramatic license, the opera spans a period from December 1855 to December 1859.

Vivaldi's 'Argippo' returns to Prague after 278 years

When a musician from the southern Czech Republic stumbled upon an anonymous score, he knew it was the long-lost opera "Argippo" by Italian baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi.

Ondrej Macek, a 36-year-old harpsichordist and conductor from Cesky Krumlov, then decided to bring the opera back to Prague, where it opened 278 years ago.

New York City Opera: Women’s Work

Mimí and Salome, Brünnhilde and Elvira. Opera without women's voices may be unimaginable, but when it comes to offstage business, their absence is rarely questioned.
