The Legend of Zelda: The Symphony of the Goddesses

A Night of Questions at the Opera: Faust

11:32 PM Posted by Unknown , , ,
I like that modern art causes me to stop and ask questions - to pause in the midst of the familiar and have to deal with something very unfamiliar. It is in this context that I enjoyed Austin Lyric Opera’s performance of Faust this past week. Unfortunately, I am uncertain if the modern interpretation...

Is SXSW Over?

10:19 PM Posted by Unknown ,
It has been a terribly busy past few weeks for all of us who jump headlong into the affairs of South by Southwest. I will be back to business as usual this coming weekend. Until then, I give you some food for thought: A Mondrian Cake made in the ATX. It was hard to construct, difficult to cut,...

What You Don't Want to Miss: Austin Lyric Opera's Marriage of Figaro

I admit that I'm new to the opera scene in Austin. I've only experienced two other productions by Austin Lyric Opera, but I can merrily admit that I'm in. Hook, line, & sinker. I also freely admit that I listen to opera music, but never as a complete opera. I have those "best of" opera albums that...
