Odyssey Opera
To say that Odyssey Opera continues to set the bar for opera performances in Boston may be a bit superfluous, but it’s true.

May Odyssey Opera continue gracing Boston’s opera scene for seasons to come with such delightful performances as this.
For their debut on Sunday, Odyssey Opera and conductor Gil Rose could hardly have picked a more spectacular, unfamiliar epic than they did.
