Superb singers and a clear production of Ernest Chausson’s seldom-heard Le roi Arthus make for an exciting return to live opera at Bard SummerScape, writes Anthony Tommasini in his Critic's Pick review for the New York Times. “Botstein, leading the American Symphony Orchestra, an impressive cast and the excellent Bard Festival Chorale, made a compelling case for the piece.” Performances continue July 28 at 2 pm, July 30 at 4 pm, and August 1 at 2 pm.
