Cut-down `The First Emperor' returns to Met Opera
Opera NewsWhen the ambitious opera was given its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in December 2006, there were many interesting elements, both musically and theatrically. But overall, it was a mixed night, done in by tedious pacing, especially in the first act.

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

Latest mash-up: COC and hip hop
Opera NewsIf you had to pick a pair of musical genres furthest apart from each other, opera and hip hop would be a fairly safe bet. One thing they do share is sizable purist fan bases, which, whether they use the phrase or not, prefer practitioners to keep it real. Nonetheless, these star-crossed genres are coming together in a performance called The Hip Hopera, a new collaboration by the Canadian Opera Company and the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Vivaldi's 'Argippo' returns to Prague after 278 years
Opera NewsWhen 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.
