“The Romance of the Rose,” at Long Beach Opera, and Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin,” at the Met, both dwell on ancient mysteries of love.
No one has ever been able to explain exactly why Richard Wagner had such a shuddering impact on nineteenth- and twentieth-century culture, to the point where he became the subject of a somewhat unhinged international cult. Perhaps the most plausible reason has to do with the cascading power triggered by his command of music and words alike.
The principal tensions arise from the irreconcilability of the allegorical observers. Soper’s verbal dexterity is evident when, in the prologue, the Dreamer enacts lulling the audience to sleep. The God of Love offers phrases from the original poem . Lady Reason strives for scientific detachment . Shame spews corrosive despair . Each character is given bespoke vocal processing: reverb for the God of Love, a vocoder for Lady Reason, microtonal distortion for Shame.
No matter: a vibrant cast and a virtuosic instrumental ensemble, under the baton of Christopher Rountree, brought the score to life. Lucas Steele, a star of “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” on Broadway, lent his nimble voice and sly charm to the Dreamer. Tivoli Treloar, a voice-performance major at U.C.L.A., radiated sophisticated sweetness as the Lover. Phillip Bullock, Anna Schubert, Laurel Irene, Bernardo Bermudez, and Tiffany Townsend animated the allegorical roles.
