Classical Review says it's "a witty production that combined a gently tweaked storyline with an intimate setting that gave audience members a rare chance to experience opera up close."
New York Magazine says: "The innovative local troupe [is] known for its reinterpretations of opera classics."
Time Out says: "Donizetti's sassy comedy is thoroughly reimagined in this novel outing by Underworld Productions Opera."
Paige Cutrona plays Norina
"Passionate...vocally striking."
-- The New York Times
Peter Castaldi plays Don Pasquale
"... formidable acting skills and vocal authority of baritone Peter Castaldi who inhabits the role of Pasquale with absolute conviction."
-- Classical Review, May 2012

ReplyDeleteThe opera was wonderful - great singing. especially the ensembles of several voices at once. The supertitles were really funny -part Joyce steam of consciousness, part Jung collective unconscious with wacky surprises.
The opera in the park was wonderful!!
Thank you Gina for a wonderful opera! We enjoyed it immensely!
... universally excellent performances, ensemble and stagings... Donizetti's familiar Don was smooth-talked to whimpering status...
I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed it! Congratulations on a great production!
Well done! I enjoyed your production! Keep up with your good work!
