Thanks for bringing this quality to Pensacola. Overall I am glad I went and would certainly recommend it to others. I did enjoy the opera very much, but was disappointed that the vocalists were not wearing mics. Since I have heard pre-performance pieces, I knew the voice quality and projection capability were stupendous. Unfortunately the sound was a bit muffled and at times could not be heard very well over the orchestra. I was seated on row "P" pretty much center so the sound should have been quite good at that position. For future performances, please consider stage mics or something if the performers do not wear their own. It was a shame no to be able to clearly hear the music - after all, it is an opera.
I purchased tickets over a month ago. My husband and I arrived at our seats to find another couple had exact seats! Same numbers, same row, same night. Fortunately the staff responded most professionally and were able to find alternative seating for us; however, it was a bit alarming that the computerized system could have made duplicate tickets.

Favorite moment: Naturally the Nessun Dorma aria is my favorite, but the set, costumes, storyline and quality of voices were fabulous. @
