During their recent engagement at the Joyce Theater, the James Sewell Ballet presented a piece called "Opera Moves", pieces set to various arias, duets, etc. The ballerina Emily Tyra both sang and danced Kurt Weill's "Lonely House" from the opera Street Scene. An impressive tour de force.
Macaulay, in his NYTimes review, referred to her "lip synching". In the program it clearly stated that it was both sung live and danced by Ms. Tyra. A small and unobtrusive mike was evident. Six days later the Times printed a correction.
Her program bio states that Ms. Tyra has been studying voice for the past six years.
