COMMANDOpera is evidently jazzed about the upcoming Dallas Opera–and American–debut of Finnish bass-baritone Jukka Rasilainen as Kurvenal in our February production of Wagner’s “Tristan & Isolde.”

Lots of folks weighing-in today on the Dallas Opera’s successful completion of the two-year, $20 million endowment campaign.
Including “Dallas Business Journal”
And “COMMANDOpera”
And D Magazine
And “Art and Seek” (KERA)
Not to mention, this, from Norman Lebrecht.

Of the company, that is. Here’s his take on meeting Dallas Opera General Director and CEO Keith Cerny at the midway point of Crewmantle’s recent “COMMANDOpera Eastern U.S. Opera Company Tour.”
In case you were wondering, the fellow in the feathered mask is NOT Mr. Cerny. For additional details, click here.

As part of a veritable eastern-half of the United States tour of opera houses and companies, the Dallas Opera played host the other afternoon to Crewmantle and his guest for an impromptu tour of the company offices and the Winspear Opera House itself.
I mean, how could we say no? Crew might affect unusual accessories for a contemporary arts writer, but his enthusiasm for life and his tremendous passion for opera are evident in every sentence he writes.
Plus, it got me away from my desk. Nice! Here’s his piece on the tour.
Come back and experience one of our productions, Crew! And soon!

Here at the Dallas Opera we’re girding ourselves (okay, I just wanted an excuse to write “girding”) for the second half of the “Dangerous Desires” Season, kicking off February 11th with Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet” starring Charles Castronovo and Lyubov Petrova in the title roles. Crewmantle of COMMANDOpera sounds jazzed already. Check it out here.

Kudos to COMMANDOpera for the preview of our upcoming season opener, “Don Giovanni,” particularly for going the distance to acquire these gorgeous photos of the John Pascoe-designed set for Washington National Opera.
The renowned Mr. Pascoe will be directing his production in Dallas, as well.
In any event, it’s a superb sneak peek at what we can expect to see when the curtain goes up on Mozart’s masterpiece October 22nd at the Winspear Opera House.
Thanks, CrewMantle!
