Operawire reviews our collab with @bmop on BMOP/sound’s Dominick Argento: The Voyage of Edgar Allan Poe, remarking, “…it has variously been ranked among the finest American operas… BMOP — in partnership with Gil Rose’s #OdysseyOpera — delivers a tight reading of the score… ‘The Voyage of Edgar Allan Poe,’ is in more than capable hands… the #opera is some kind of hybrid: grand expressionistic theatre”

Voyagers, it has been exciting to hear the results of our recording collab with @bmop on Dominick Argento’s opera, The Voyage of Edgar Allan Poe, released on BMOP/sound.
For our Apr 2024 production, we received permission to reproduce the booklet published for the 1976 world premiere — and it is aura-giving. With illustrations, photos, histories, essays, & bios on Edgar Allan Poe’s life, influence, and posthumous impact, it’s an amazing resource • https://odysseyopera.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/1976-Booklet-without-Libretto.pdf

“…Poe takes audiences on a hallucinatory voyage of discovery. In 1849, the ill & feverish Poe — his creativity & inspiration in the doldrums after his wife Virginia’s death two years prior — sailed from Richmond to Baltimore. Less than a week later, he died, dissolute & destitute, at the age of 40.” // https://artsfuse.org/289387/coming-attractions-march-24-through-april-8-what-will-light-your-fire/

Rufus Wilmot Griswold (🖊️name: Ludwig) influenced the perception of Edgar Allan Poe’s life & works, esp. posthumously. The men’s relationship began professionally but devolved given work-related jealousies & competition for the same romantic partner (see: Frances Sargent Osgood ☕️). Griswold wrote Poe’s obituary under his pseudonym & claimed he was Poe’s literary executor (#drama).
