Berkeley Opera’s Big Moves
By Georgia Rowe
• San Francisco Classical Voice • Monday, February 08, 2010
Berkeley Opera has always been known for its adventurous spirit. While it has never enjoyed the large subscriber base — or extravagant budgets — of its high-profile counterparts, the company has given audiences a wide range of productions in the last three decades, offering forgotten masterpieces, English adaptations, and world premieres alongside standards of the repertoire.
This month, though, the company embarks on one of its biggest adventures to date: After years at the Julia Morgan Theater, Berkeley Opera is moving to El Cerrito.

Where Singing Means More Than Hip Shaking
By Anthony Tommasini
• The New York Times • Monday, February 08, 2010
Yet during this performance [of the Met's Carmen], I was fixated on, of all things, Ms. Borodina’s dancing. What provoked me was an interesting column last month by my colleague Alastair Macaulay, The Times’s chief dance critic and a knowledgeable opera buff. Carmen, as he rightly pointed out, is full of dancing, and not just when the Gypsies cut loose at Lillas Pastia’s tavern in Seville. Even an aria like Carmen’s “Habanera,” which Bizet did not expect to be actually danced, is run through with the rhythms of that Spanish dance/song genre.
