I was so glad that these were the two chosen for the opening of the season. My girlfriend and I have decided to see at least one more opera before the season finale!

Wonderful voices and the singers could act.
First time I've seen so many things on wheels rolled out of the Church in "Cavalleria ...". It helped drag the music (Intermetzzo).

These 2 operas were fast moving and very enjoyable. Pagliacci was absolutely sublime. You could truly feel the pain that Pagliaccio felt for his wife. Would highly recommend you catching this double bill if it comes back to town. We were truly entertained and 3 hours went by so fast. Bravo, Bravo to our local Arizona Opera.

It has been years since I attended the opera and I am happy to report that it holds more drama and magic now than it did then! I loved the characters in both operas. I am new to Phoenix and Arizona. I was thrilled to hear that the opera will soon have a new home.
Santuzza and Lola, Turiddu and Alfio - voices were wonderful, orchestraton lovely, scenery appealing and appropriate - creating the space, the time, the setting for these dramas to unfold in Cabalieria Rusticana. I loved Canio's aria. in Pagliacci. I think Allan Glassman has a beautiful voice. But Nedda, Tonio and Silvio were all necessary and were wonderful in this performance. Thank you for a lovely evening. I know now that I don't have to have the best seats in the house. The auditorium is intimate enough to provide excellent viewing for all its patrons.
As my guest, I brought a friend (of Italian heritage) that had never attended the opera before. She was highly entertained by the surprise endings, the drama, the history, the music. We are looking forward to another performance this season. I would consider us very happy patrons willing to repeat the experience. Thank you so much for your hard work and wonderful talent from so many.

The conductor was excellent. He nagivated the orchestra and singers through some difficult passages, particularly in "Cavalleria Rusticana".
Canio in "Pagliacci" was outstanding and was truly the star of the evening.
Liked the colors and settings in both productions- efficient use of materials.
It was a really enjoyable evening. I sat up in the "Gods" and had a great view of stage and orchestra pit. I would buy this seat again, even if I could afford more expensive seating for this reason.

Both operas were wonderful to see and hear - Allan Glassman had a ringing tenor voice and the chorus and orchestra for the operas were both wonderful! Bravi tutti!

I really enjoyed this presentation: both performances took my wife and I back to Siciliy and Italy, and made us feel as it we were back in the old country. The singing was truly masterful, with very memorable performances from all. Todd Thomas (Tonio) and Allan Glassman (Canio) in Pagliacci took our breath away - very believable and dramatic. Susan Nicely also did a wonderful job as Mama Lucia. There were some minor set annoyances and orchestral shortcomings, but all in all a great performance by the cast and AZ opera.

The quality of the voices and acting was superb. The attempt to create a busy Italian courtyard/piazza by having children running back and forth on the small stage was less effective.
I also strongly suggest an on time curtain. This should become the standard for all performances.

The sets were beautifully and cleverly created to support both operas on the bill. The singing was masterful, the acting excellent and the music well-done. I marvel at the Baritone's ability to play a major role in both operas. It came together very well and was most enjoyable.
My only disappointment was the decision by the director to set both operas in the 1930s rather than the original time frame of the 1890s. Although I realize that this time setting has been done before, I would prefer staying true to the original composers' image. I believe that opera-goers do not need to be coddled by costumes that imply a modern time. I don't understand the motivation unless there is an intention to create a political undercurrent.
An added bonus was the Q&A after the performance with cast members. Thank you!

Overall, we enjoyed the performances, especially the orchestra. The stage lighting in Cavalleria Rusticana was poor (too dim). The action takes place on an Easter Sunday morning and should be very bright and sunny. It was difficult at times to see. In contrast, I Pagliacci takes place close to midnight but was well illuminated. Also, in my opinion, the procession in Cavalleria was overdone. The person carrying a massive crucifix all by himself must have had enormous strength.
