Review: Pittsburgh Opera pits man against nature in 'Moby-Dick'

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: An epic that pits a crew of richly outsized personalities against nature and the unknown, “Moby-Dick” provides ample mystic and drama for an operatic setting.

The human relationships between the Pequod’s main quartet — Captain Ahab and Starbuck, Greenhorn (”Call me Ishmael”) and Queequeg — were backlit by the captain’s feral need for revenge, for dominance, a juxtaposition wondrous to behold at Saturday’s Pittsburgh Opera performance at the Benedum Center, Downtown.
