...songs, like "Fairy Princess" and "Wishing The Day Away," explore Fitzpatrick's habit of using fantasies to escape the melancholic moments in life. While singing these tunes, the lights dim and Fitzpatrick appears to be transported to a magical place where life's obstacles are forgotten, and she carries the audience and their problems with her. As an added bonus, Fitzpatrick complements the lyrics on "Wishing" with breathy non-verbal vocals that add an extra dimension to the illusion and broadens Fitzpatrick's appeal...
...Harvard-Radcliffe Gilbert and Sullivan Players' production of "Princess Ida," and I think your review (April 18) missed the point. Ida did seem heroically out of place at times, but this only underlined the foolishness of those around her. The dramatic and vocal power of Samara Levenstein's portrayal was absolutely necessary for the enlightenment of the other characters at the end of the show--a transformation Ms. Brooke Rogers missed entirely...

Critics, however, chided her for self-indulgent behavior and for wearing earrings and mascara in the O.R. SEEN & HEARD...
...knew he had to set the novel to music one day. Two decades and three Juilliard degrees later, he will see his first opera (of the same title), for which he adapted the text from the 1891 original, premiere next week at the Opera de Monte-Carlo in Monaco. (Princess Caroline, president of the Monaco Spring Arts Festival, encouraged Liebermann's work, and the piece is dedicated to her.) The composer does sense an affinity, in part, with Wilde's portrait of misbehavior: "I don't feel in a way that I've created any of my pieces. They sort...
