Oberon

Music Review: Providence Art-Pop Trio Arc Iris stretches its wings in “iTMRW”

So, after three original albums (plus a re-imagining of Joni Mitchell’s Blue) that fell short of wide acclaim, perhaps it was only a matter of time for them to think big.

By: Paul Robicheau Filed Under: Featured, Music, Review, Rock Tagged: Arc Iris, iTMRW, Oberon, Paul Robicheau

Opera CD Review: Carl Maria von Weber’s Wildly Assorted Candy Box — A Spiffy New Recording

The rarely staged Oberon is easy to love and will fascinate admirers of early nineteenth-century music.

By: Ralph P. Locke Filed Under: Featured, Music, Opera, Review Tagged: Carl Maria von Weber, Giessen Philharmonic and Stadttheater Chorus, Michael Hofstetter, Oberon, Oehms

Theater Review: “Miss You Like Hell” — A Lukewarm Road Trip

This is yet another sentimental exercise in the mechanics of mother/daughter rapprochement

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Erin McKeown, Miss You Like Hell, Oberon, Quiara Alegría Hudes

Theater Review: “RoosevElvis” — Antic Americana

RoosevElvis turns out to a sort of slaphappy homage to two American legends, a genial romp that sticks to stereotypes.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: American Repertory Theater, Elvis Presley, Oberon, RoosevElvis, the TEAM, Theodore Roosevelt

Theater Review: “Who Would Be King”—A Bible Story Retold, Entertainingly

Liars and Believers have been creating, conceptualizing, and rehearsing this show for eighteen months—and the seasoning has paid off.

Fuse Theater Review: “Ghost Quartet” — Bang the Drum Slowly

The things that go bump in the night are a pretty gooey lot in Ghost Quartet.

Fuse Dance Review: The Bang Group and Elders Ensemble — Grownups

I wondered why the Elders Ensemble program so consistently portrayed the elders as somber and withdrawn.

Theater Review: “Rain Dogs” — A Humdinger of a Tribute to the Music of Tom Waits

Having glittery, Bettie Page-y young women clad in leather and thongs undulate to music by Tom Waits is pretty much guaranteed to work.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Babes in Boinkland, Lipstick Criminals, Matt Hanson, Oberon, Peter Mulvey and The Crumbling Beauties, Rain Dogs

Theater Feature: Rogue Burlesque — Sex and the Single Nerd

Rogue Burlesque will be performing an unfiltered homage to our fixation with nerd culture, from “Weird Al” Yankovic and Superman to Edgar Allan Poe.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Elizabeth Erenberg, Oberon, Rogue Burlesque, Talk Nerdy to M3

Theater Review: Creatures of the Night Throw a Rocking Party

“The Rocky Horror Show” works best when it is immersive like this—a theatrical party that includes the audience.

By: Alyssa Hall Filed Under: Theater Tagged: Oberon, Ryan Landry, The Gold Dust Opphans, The Rocky Horror Show
