Fort Worth Opera Presents a Hit in Heggie’s “Three Decembers”
Date: 5/14/2012 By David Weuste, Everyday Opera
Once again, the Fort Worth Opera Company presents a world-class chamber opera that could be the highlight of the season. Part of Darren Woods' mission is to present new chamber opera works of this nature each year, and if Hydrogen Jukebox last year, and this year's Three Decembers by Jake Heggie are any sort of indicators, I have a hunch that no one is going to be raising objections about presenting these kinds of productions any time soon. After an opening night featuring thirty-five foot tall sets for a Grand Opera with a magnitude of principal voices and over twenty choristers, Fort Worth audiences were introduced to a new work on a small amphitheater-style stage, with an off-stage chamber ensemble and only three singers — and yet there wasn't a single moment where you felt as if it were "lacking" in any department.
