Editorial Review for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis – by Scott Miller
You Don't Know What You're Missing
Are you afraid of opera? Or are you a serious opera buff who wants to see internationally acclaimed artists and performances? Either way, you're in luck. Opera Theatre of St. Louis is one of the world's most respected companies. But you won't find any iron-chested valkyries standing like mannequins here--all works are performed in English in a fresh and very American style. Unlike many opera companies, OTSL believes acting is important, too, and their productions are as satisfying theatrically as they are musically.
What You'll See
The company offers a mix of familiar and unconventional repertory, accompanied by members of the world-renowned Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. The company's five-week festival season each summer is regularly reviewed in "The New York Times," "The London Times" and the "Chicago Tribune."
