The global acceptance from audiences and a willingness to stage new operas have been a wonder for the operatic world. It is a great benefit to all that John Corigliano, well into his eighties when writing this score, returned to this genre. The Lord of Cries is a unique combination of story building that combines the ancient Athenian play The Bacchae by Euripides and Bram Stoker's Dracula, setting the story of Dionysus in 19th century England. Composer and librettist Mark Adamo -- Corigliano's husband -- previously penned an opera with this combination and presented it to the Houston Grand Opera. Though rejected, the pair later decided to return to the concept with Corigliano writing music to Adamo's libretto, and the result is music and text that fully intertwine. The role of Dionysus/Dracula was written with star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo in mind; here, he leads a mostly returning cast from the opera's 2021 premiere at the Santa Fe Opera. The forces recorded here gave the work's East Coast premiere in 2022, with Gil Rose leading the Boston Modern Orchestra Project and the Chorus of Odyssey Opera. While Costanzo will rightfully be heralded for his performance here, the entire cast delivers very strong, dramatic performances. The Odd Sisters (Felicia Gavilanes, Leah Brzyski, and Rachel Blaustein are tasked with providing much of the drama throughout and do excellent work: They are challenged with extreme ranges and harmonies, and they are on point. Stoker's story is widely popular, thanks in part to modern media, though Dionysus' story might have a narrower scope. Coming in cold to the music might make it difficult to follow the combined plot, and having a synopsis on hand and a background on the two stories is certainly helpful.
