Opera Review: COSÌ FAN TUTTE (San Francisco Opera)
WARM AND COSÌ I am beginning to yearn for a production of Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte which takes place, as originally intended, in its own time. The last three productions I’ve seen took place in a Long Island diner in the 1990s (courtesy Peter Sellars’ highly gestural version) or Coney Island in the 1950s (the most…

Theater Review: WINTERTIME (Berkeley Rep)
A SOLITUDE OF ICICLES Where to begin. Wintertime, which brings live theater back to Berkeley Rep, was written by Charles Mee, who has a devoted following among the theatrical cognoscenti, due to his eccentrically witty takes on life, love, and the pursuit of wherever life and love takes the people in his very special and…

Opera Review: HANSEL AND GRETEL (Pacific Opera Project)
HANSEL AND GRETEL GO POP Humperdinck began his career as an assistant to Richard Wagner; mercifully, this did not influence his composition of Hansel and Gretel, which is light and folksy throughout, and its unWagnerlike running time comes in at less than two hours. Perhaps the most commendable takeaway from his association with Wagner is…

Theater Review: SHE THE PEOPLE (Second City at San Diego Rep)
WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A COMIC BREAKDOWN The Second City school of comedy never held back on giving funny women stage time, even going back to the sixties and seventies. From Joan Rivers to Gilda Radner to Catherine O’Hara, showcasing funny women has been one of their triumphs, leading many of them to SNL…

Theater Review: THE CHILDREN (Fountain Theatre in Hollywood)
SLOW TO DIE, OR FAST TO LIVE? The setting is the story in The Children, Fountain Theatre’s L.A. premiere. Set designer Andrew Hammer depicts a hand-me-down yet tidy seaside cottage off the east coast of England. This remote shelter, which gets power only after 10pm, stands on a cliff just outside an “exclusion zone,” the site of a…

Theater Review: HEAD OVER HEELS (Pasadena Playhouse)
MY HEAD SAID “STAY” BUT MY HEELS SAID “RUN”, OR A BEAT OFF You may have never heard of the musical Head Over Heels, but this screwy mash-up of Sir Philip Sidney’s sixteenth-century poem Arcadia and the songs of the iconic 1980s’ female rock band The Go-Go’s has been around the block since 2015. From…

Theater Review: BUG (Steppenwolf Theatre)

Music Review: MTT: MOZART, TILSON THOMAS & SCHUMANN (Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony)
WELCOME HOME, MAESTRO THOMAS There are concerts and, then, there are concerts.

Music Review: MOZART AND RAVEL (Matthias Pintscher, conductor; Sunwook Kim, piano; Los Angeles Philharmonic)
RAPTUROUS RAVEL Of all the entertainment venues in Los Angeles denied us during the COVID years, perhaps the one I’ve missed most is the Disney Concert Hall.

Theater Review: MY FAIR LADY (National Tour)
MY FAILED LADY Let’s make one thing clear. When a national touring company of a Broadway success comes to your city, proclaiming it is a duplicate of the original production, what is meant by “production” is that it is guaranteed to have the same sets and costumes and sound design. It will look great and…
