Allen\u2019s uncanny ability to transmit to his audience the spirit that a work\u2019s composer and librettist intended has established him as one of the greatest communicators our art has ever known. Allen\u2019s craft is transcendent: he does not so much perform as use his astonishing instrument and intelligence to will his characters into life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>About Anthony Roth Costanzo Editor in Chief F. Paul Driscoll offers: \u201cAnthony Roth Costanzo is a true interdisciplinarian, who augments his work as a brilliant opera singer and recitalist with work as a producer and impresario, collaborating with cutting-edge choreographers, artists, designers, filmmakers and stage directors to expand the definition of what a music-theater performance can be. His boundless intellectual curiosity, staggering energy and manifest integrity have inspired his colleagues, as well as his audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.operanews.com\/Opera_News_Magazine\/2019\/11\/News\/Thomas_Allen,_Javier_Camarena,_Anthony_Roth_Costanzo,_Diana_Damrau_and_Ana_Mar%C3%ADa_Mart%C3%ADnez.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read the full press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Opera News Five Singers to be Celebrated for Achievement in Opera at the April 5, 2020 Awards Gala OPERA NEWS EDITOR IN CHIEF F.
