Date: 5/11/2011 By Leonard Eureka, Fort Worth Weekly
As with years previous, Fort Worth Opera’s 2011 four-opera festival offers some wildly diverse programming. Fans of grand opera have three performances of Verdi’s Il Trovatore to choose from, beginning Sat, May 21. The $1.7 million production was bought from the financially strapped Opera Pacific in 2008 for $40,000, FWO general director Darren Woods said, “and we immediately rented it to the Detroit Opera for $40,000, so it didn’t cost us anything.” This will be its first appearance in Fort Worth. For lovers of Baroque opera and its acrobatic vocals, FWO will put on two performances of Handel’s Julius Caesar, beginning Sat, May 28.
