Saturday is sold out, but Friday you can still catch one of the last performances of the Lowell Opera Society's "Otello." (8:30 p.m.; Students $12, through Harvard Box Office...
...polished performance that was both passionately and exquisitely sung. Davis was able to produce brilliance with her lower voice that was complemented by the fullness of her upper register. She also gave a most entrancing dramatic performance, especially in the opening of the fourth act.

Susan Graham singing as the Composer from Ariadne and Placido singing Otello - he was the greatest Otello for 30 years. Luciano, too, was so perfect in every way. I think of him as Ella Fitzgerald, and Placido as Sarah Vaughan. Luciano - classical, crystal, timeless perfection. Placido - more baroque, a little bit twisted, crazy and sexy. For my own singing, I used to be attracted...
