	Orpheus in the Underworld Presented by Boston Opera Collaborative at The Strand Theatre July 26-July 29, 2012 While the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice may be familiar to many of you, Offenbach's operetta takes the tragic tale and spins it into an uproarious farce. In his version, Orpheus and Eurydice grow tired of marriage and Eurydice welcomes her visit to Hell. Even the gods on Mount Olympus stage a revolt to join the party! Only Public Opinion...

	Boston Opera Collaborative presents La Boheme Presented by Boston Opera Collaborative at Mass College of Art Tower Auditorium March 2-March 11, 2012 Set in the mid-nineteenth century, Puccini's masterpiece endures and resonates with contemporary audiences because of its breathtaking music and its timeless story of love, loss, and the sacrifices we make for our art. Although the romanticized world of the artist contrasts with the harsh realities of life, these are recognizable characters...

	Boston Opera Collaborative presents Verdi's Falstaff Presented by Boston Opera Collaborative at Somerville Theatre July 15-July 24, 2011 In light of the glorious decadence and irrepressible excess of this ensemble show, stage director Heidi Lauren Duke and music director Mischa Santora have updated the piece to 1973 Italian-America; an ode to mafia dons, boogie nights, and the dusk of Aquarius! Scheming women, mis-matched lovers, and drunken debauchery will abound! Sung in...

  Consciences are, appropriately, stripped bare in Boston Opera Collaborative’s fine new production of “The Crucible.’’ After all, Robert Ward’s 1961 operatic adaptation of Arthur Miller’s play is all about witchcraft: Puritan Salem torn by reckless accusations, the flawed-but-noble farmer John Proctor and his wife snared in the irrational mania. What good would common sense do? Collapse

  The Crucible is the definition of the quintessential witch hunt play (if such a thing as a quintessential witch hunt play exists). From young girls running wild through the forest, to secret love affairs gone wrong and the ever powerful church looming in the background, it’s all the best parts of opera poured into one show. Robert Ward’s musical interpretation is full and lush and is a perfect match to the story line. It’s even more impressive to take on the show in New England and so close to Salem, because the residents here have that extra bit of knowledge of the area and the history of the play. As I told my companion, in Opera, the music itself shapes everything, and with Ward’s treatment, you could literally sit with your eyes closed and understand exactly what was happening just by hearing it.

  I saw Orpheus in the Underworld yesterday, and it was one of the best operas (and shows) that I've seen this year. Singers were great, but they were also wonderful actors; the production was unbelievably funny and well-done. It was pure joy! This was my first time seeing BOC, I will definitely add them to my list of favorites in Boston. Collapse

  Great show! I had never seen any representation of the Cunning Little Vixen, but I was pleasantly surprised by a solid rendition of what appears to be a complex opera for the singers and musicians. The staff did a great job too. The choreography was creative and effectively brought into the story what could be considered as "peripheral" animal characters (big round of applause for the twin fleas!) The stage work was excellent and the use of puppets was the icing on the cake! Oh, and if the usual length of an opera is a deterrent to some, this one is on the shorter side (under two hours, one intermission). One more reason to go and bring your friends... Collapse
