Roland H. Dippel applauds the world premiere PENTATONE recording, Mark Adamo: Lysistrata, remarking, “Mark Adamos Oper „Lysistrata“ ist 20 Jahre nach ihrer Uraufführung aktueller denn je, wie Gil Rose und #OdysseyOpera vehement zeigen… Das Ensemble bietet eine rundum überzeugende Leistung.”

In the September issue of BBC Music magazine, Claire Jackson calls the world premiere recording of Mark Adamo’s Lysistrata “brilliantly bewildering”, remarking of the PENTATONE release, “the female ensemble cast is luminous… two decades on, [the opera] still blisters.” ★★★★

In Gramophone (Sept 2026), David Patrick Stearns reviews PENTATONE’s release of the world premiere recording of Mark Adamo’s Lysistrata, praising #OdysseyOpera’s “cast-wide English diction — not just consistently clear but feeling more natural than drilled — in tandem with knowing exactly what the vocal lines want to say. Drawn partly from Boston's reputedly seasoned, intelligent community of singers, the cast…constitute a tight ensemble.” • https://www.gramophone.co.uk/reviews/adamo-lysistrata-or-the-nude-goddess-rose

#OdysseyOpera’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s #opera The Last Savage is praised in Opera’s June 2026 issue, “For the Odyssey Opera presentation, partnering with @bmop… The cast was uniformly excellent… The fine Odyssey chorus wore multiple hats — singing wonderfully, arranging props and taking on many bit parts. The conductor Gil Rose led a spirited, committed performance of this delightful operatic gem.”

Six years ago, Gunther Schuller: The Fisherman and His Wife dropped on the GRAMMY®-winning BMOP/sound label. This world premiere recording captures the 2015 memorial performance of the family-friendly opera which #OdysseyOpera presented with our friends at @bmop.

This fable by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Schuller sets John Updike’s libretto and makes a great #opera introduction for listeners of all ages • https://bmopsound.bandcamp.com/album/gunther-schuller-the-fisherman-and-his-wife

There’s been much news about the #Moon lately, Voyagers. While #OdysseyOpera has not yet programmed a space-based or Moon-centric #opera, we can’t forget the role our planet’s only natural satellite played in our 2015 staging of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Sir John in Love. Beneath the Moon in the depths of Windsor Forest the exploits of the vain and boastful knight, Sir John Falstaff, are revealed — and reveled — in the grand tradition of Shakespearean comedy.

Voyagers, here are a few of *many* memorable moments from our production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s #opera buffa, The Last Savage, performed in collab with @bmop. We’re so glad you could experience this underappreciated masterwork!

#OOSavage #OdysseyOpera

At The Arts Fuse, Aaron Keebaugh praises “Odyssey Opera’s recent staging, in collaboration with @bmop, of Menotti’s The Last Savage at the Huntington Avenue Theatre [as] a reminder of why the composer struck such a popular chord during the 20th century… #OdysseyOpera’s fine cast of singers delivered all the moments of lampoon with striking appeal… All told, The Last Savage delivered good tunes, a delightfully twisted story, and all-around cheer.” • https://artsfuse.org/326192/opera-review-odyssey-operas-the-last-savage-finds-wit-and-warmth-in-menottis-madcap-satire/

#OOSavage

Kevin Wells gives five of five stars at Bachtrack. “ #OdysseyOpera’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s 1963 opera The Last Savage convincingly makes the case that its time has come,” he acclaims. “Singers and action were front and center and, thanks to universally clear diction, made the supertitles superfluous… Odyssey’s cast of stalwarts, including the chorus and choristers who took on solo parts, colorfully embodied their characters. ★★★★★” • https://bachtrack.com/review-menotti-last-savage-odyssey-opera-boston-march-2026

#OOSavage

Reviewer Lee Eiseman praises #OdysseyOpera’s production of Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Last Savage in The Boston Musical Intelligencer, writing, “Every word came across in the dry, speech-friendly theater… Gil Rose considerately presided over a company of singers with comic and vocal genius and players who can make any composer sound great. They have shown doubters that Menotti is now an unabashed rather than a guilty pleasure.” • https://classical-scene.com/2026/03/14/menotti-skewers/
