If you are looking to experience an Opera with an excellent cast of voices - this is the one to see! The sets are simple yet beautiful, the lighting is expertly executed, the baritone and tenor (most important to this opera) are spot on. The Soprano is a little off at the start but warm up nicely. The chorus fills the concert hall with song! Only two improvements I would suggest would be to work on the timing of the dancers, yes, they are all very talented - but timing is everything. The orchestra should modify their loudness when it comes to some of the songs - the singers should not have to force their voices over the music. Overall, a must see!

Favorite moment: The duets, especially the baritone and tenor - sung like it was meant when the opera was written - BRAVO! @
