| At least there is an established precedent of major opera companies producing grand-scale and fully orchestrated productions of “Sweeney Todd,” even if it’s not with the regularity of such warhorses like “Aida,” “La boheme” and “Carmen.” As more musical theater works become timeless classics, the non-profit opera world will increasingly have the resources available to produce musicals with their original or expanded orchestrations versus commercial Broadway runs. I mean, “Fiddler on the Roof” has entered the repertory of both the Vienna Volksoper (as “Anatevka”) and Berlin’s Komische Oper. The Lyric Opera of Chicago even borrowed director Barrie Kosky’s 2017 German production in 2022, complete with its scenic framing that recalled the Berlin holocaust memorial and the Act I ending that portended the gas chambers in concentration camps. |
