Featured Review
What a delightful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Phoenix Opera Company's performance of The Magic Flute was beyond delightful. From the moment the curtain opened revealing a breathtaking set, until the final moments when the entire cast was assembled on the stage, we were highly entertained. The voices were strong and there was not a weak voice among them. Jennifer Nagy was especially brilliant as Pamina. Her voice is exceptional and she handles vocal dynamics with finesse. Vale Rideout as Tamino was outstanding. The chemistry between Pamino and Tamino was convincing and their voices blended beautifully. Kevin Burdette, as Papageno was absolutely delightful. His comedic presence along with his exceptional voice was a winning combination.

I found this at the last minute and was incredibly suprised that any tickets were still availalbe. Dimitri is a world class baritone who puts amazing emotion into his music. If you ever get a chance to see him GO GO GO!!!
The orpheum is a beautiful setting as well. love the old style architecture.

This was an unforgetable experience for us. We had great seats in an absolutely beautiful theater to see a world famous baritone, backed by an exquisite orchestra. It was amazing to hear what sounded like just one violin, but see15 bows moving!

Stupendous! How wonderful that the Phoenix Opera hosted an event with the caliber as this! I can't use enough superlatives to describe the performance; the program was wellchosen and a nice variety of pieces. We are so lucky that Mr. H came to Phoenix!

Dmitri Hvorosovsky AND the Phoenix Opera Orchestra and Chorus were magnificent! I was lucky to be able to see this once in a lifetime performance.
DH was magnificent!
I hope he will be back in AZ soon, wearing the black Stetson that was presented to him. He seemed to enjoy every minute on stage - and the audience was in love!
Wish I could have taken a pictures (not allowed.)

We absolutely and completely enjoyed La Traviata. The featured artists are extremely polished in their craft and left a memorable impression. The stage settings were extremely well-done and the chorus was spot-on. The performance, music and theatre were outstanding. Thank you Mr. Verdi!!!

Great performances, talented voices, great production values. The orpheum is a neat old theater and always a pleasure. All in all, I was very satisfied! Violetta's silly faces while singing were about the only distraction for me.

Beautiful sets and costumes. Stunning vocals. The Orpheum in a breathtaking facility. Some struggle to hear solo voices sometimes is my only reason for not giving 5 stars. Bravo Phoenix Opera!

Although it was a bit long (4 parts), it was great! I was a little disappointed in the lack of an audience but I'm assuming that was due to the price of the show. A bit high in my opinion. However, the music, vocals, and set was amazing and I thought it was worth it. Besides, how can you go wrong with the opera in Pretty Women?

Arizona Opera's attempt at Verdi's La Traviata was hampered by uninspired conducting and a small but too loud orchestra that played poorly. Having said that, the sets were stunning, worthy of any company's production. Julia Koci and Jesus Garcia sang beautifully, when they could be heard. The production suffered from many gaffs reflecting under rehearsal with missed vocal lines, searching spotlights, and clumsy staging. The second act ballet (what there was of it) was totally uninspired and there was some strange miked sound that sounded like a fan hitting a microphone throughout the gypsy entrance and dance. Acting of the principals was pretty uninspired but at least Violetta and Alfredo looked beautiful together. With a better orchestra, more passionate conducting, and lower orchestral volume this could have been a really lovely Traviata.
