Georges Bizet's "Carmen" is the perfect opera for people new
to the art form: It's a fast-paced, lively crime drama with captivating
characters, irresistible rhythms, and indelible melodies for days. But the
Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra's Thursday performance of the operatic classic
-- a semi-staged production directed by Sara Widzer -- also
provided more than enough substance for those already familiar with the story.

What a difference an instrument can make, if you're Mozart. He
wrote chamber music of all kinds, from violin sonatas to wind serenades, but
it's often conceded that Mozart was at his best when simply adding a second
viola (his favorite string instrument) to the customary string quartet: pride
of place in his chamber-music output is given to his string quintets.
