Alceste

This production was conceived especially for Christine Brewer and, of course , for the very specific stage at Santa Fe.  Francisco Negrin took the piece at face value, as the wonderful, profound, sensual and tender masterpiece that it is and set out to prove that it could truly function dramaturgically, once again with the help of Ana Yepes’s choreography and most memorably, a startlingly skilled, emotional theatrical and musical performance by Paul Groves and a surprisingly agile, totally physical performance by young baritone Tom Corbeil  who blended to perfection with the dancers.
