  1. Reissued recordings add luster to Georg Solti's legacy

    Georg Solti, whose 100th birthday the classical music world is celebrating this month, rose to international fame as a recording artist well before he became widely known in the concert hall and opera house. Indeed, the former music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra reigned, along with Herbert von Karajan and Leonard Bernstein, as the supreme monarch of classical recording of his era, the last legendary conductor to set down virtually his entire career on disc.

  3. For Georg Solti, a centenary salute on a global scale

    Georg Solti loved birthday parties, especially his own. One can only imagine how thrilled he would have been to witness the outpouring of affection from the international gathering of colleagues who presented a special concert in his honor at Symphony Center on Sunday, the exact day of his 100th birthday.

  4. Lyric casts welcome light on a dark Verdi drama

    "Simon Boccanegra," which returned to the Lyric Opera repertory Monday night after an absence of 17 years, is a shadowy tragedy many opera goers respect but few really love, except perhaps for card-carrying Verdi connoisseurs.

  7. Michael Haneke goes in close for the anguish of 'Amour'

    Michael Haneke's devastating "Amour" opens Friday in Chicago. And since its Cannes Film Festival premiere in May, this tale of a long-married man and woman in their 80s, tested by illness and the limits of their own compassion, has moved audiences in a direct, emotional way unknown and, indeed, unintended by the director's previous, icy provocations.

  10. Taking opera places it has never been

  11. Savoring the delights of Handel's Arcadian glade

    Now that Chicago Opera Theater appears to have given up on Baroque opera, and Lyric Opera is taking a pass on anything Baroque next season, the field is wide open. Fortunately we have the enterprising early music enthusiasts of the Haymarket Opera Company filling the breach with their charming production of Handel's rarely heard "Clori, Tirsi e Fileno." The work had its belated Chicago premiere over the weekend at the Mayne Stage in the city's Rogers Park neighborhood.

    For many classical artists, the road to retirement is paved with lingering glances back to past glories, calculated to stir sentimental memories in their fans. The beloved operatic and concert singer Kiri Te Kanawa has been plying that route since giving what she announced would be her operatic swan song, in her touchstone role of the Marschallin in Richard Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier," in Cologne, Germany, in 2009.
