London Opera Review: SEMELE (Royal Opera House)
THE SERVANT PROBLEM: OLIVER MEARS STRIPS HANDEL’S SEMELE TO ITS DISEASED CORE There’s something deeply unsettling about watching gods behave badly in a conference hotel. Oliver Mears‘ production of Handel’s Semele at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, which conquered Paris earlier this year, doesn’t just update the myth; it performs surgery on it,…

Cabaret Review: ASHLEY PEZZOTTI (Birdland, NYC)
IN THE TRADITION OF THE GREAT JAZZ SINGERS When Ashley Pezzotti sings, it will only take a few notes for listeners new to her manner to gratefully discover that their ears will be caressed, rather than assaulted, by her timbre and talents. Some vocalists whose main asset is being long on loveliness and legato lines…

Theater Review: 5:45 (Little Theatre at Actors Company)
OFFTIME Abi Watkinson’s one-woman show 5:45 is a poor receptacle for a great deal of talent—one that feels underdeveloped and not fully thought through. The trouble starts with the title. A good title should grab attention, pique curiosity, and function as either clue or bait to lure in a potential patron: The Hundred Years’ War…
-
Theater Review: DOG OF CARNAGE (Broadwater Studio)
A TAIL OF LOVE ON A LEASH Playwright Benjamin Schwartz and director Natalie Nicole Dressel, in league with actors Callie Ott and Spencer Weitzel, have served up in Dog of Carnage one of the sharpest comedies in the Hollywood Fringe. Set in a courtroom—presided over by a grating, tonal, squawking, authoritarian judge—Ott and Weitzel are…

Cabaret Review: MS. TUCKER WILL SEE YOU NOW (Davidson-Valentini Theater at the Los Angeles LGBT Center)
NOBODY LOVES A FAT GIRL (UNTIL SHE HAS A MIC) Laural Meade has treated the concept of the solo-bio show like an origami master, folding it over and out until it becomes something other than what it is. Meade starts with the woes of Russian-born American singer, comedian, and legendary vaudevillian Sophie Tucker (1886-1966). “The…

Music Obituary: SIR ROGER NORRINGTON
THE METRONOME REVOLUTIONARY Sir Roger Norrington, who died on July 15th at the age of 90, spent his career making enemies of the right sort. Traditionalists loathed his brisk Beethoven. Period purists found his scholarship insufficiently dogmatic. Modern orchestras discovered, to their dismay, that he expected them to actually read what composers had written in…

BACKSTAGE RITUALS: HOW PERFORMERS UNWIND AFTER THE FINAL CURTAIN
The audience applauds. The lights dim. The curtain falls. But for performers, the show is far from over. After hours spent on stage delivering emotionally intense scenes, belting out high notes, or dancing with precision, the body and mind need time to reset. What happens after the performance is just as important as what takes…

ROLLING JOINTS AND ROLLING CREDITS: THE NEW INTERSECTION OF WEED AND FILM
If you’ve ever found yourself giggling at a cult classic with a little help from your favorite strain, you’re not alone. For decades, film and cannabis have shared a low-key bond—one that’s grown a lot more public in recent years. From late-night screenings of Dazed and Confused to entire festivals dedicated to the “elevated” viewing…

LITERATURE THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TRANSLATED TO THE SILVER SCREEN
It is not an easy endeavor to translate books into movies, though one that has been done for decades by filmmakers. Books made into movies are just so full of great stories, characters of such depth, and worlds so richly detailed to be explored that they are ideal material to be given life on the…

MATCHES WHERE TEAMS WON DESPITE BEING 0:2 DOWN AT HALFTIME
Halftime arrives, the scoreboard reads two-nil, and a heavy sigh ripples through the home fans. The away section, awash in red or blue confetti, smells like victory already. Out of nowhere, a single strike rattles the net, and the air changes instantly; a second goal follows, the place nearly explodes, and by the final blast…
