At last, those of you who have written to ask about our summer opera coverage can put your concerns to rest: Charles Downey has weighed in on this year’s Santa Fe Opera festival for the Washington Post.
Since Charles’s space in the Post was limited, he also offered full-length reviews of each opera on his own blog: Griselda, The Last Savage, Wozzeck, La Bohème, and Faust.
And some other views:
