“The five protagonists are exceptionally well cast. In particular, Williams-Ali is quite affecting…”

“Phillip Bullock lent his polished baritone sound to the dignified role of Mildred’s father, Jake…”

...Enrico, played by Timothy Mix. His facial expressions were fantastic and as dramatic as his voice... His domineering and lascivious personality is shown in Act 1, Scene 3, as he manipulates Lucia into believing her beloved Edgardo has betrayed her.”

“The female characters come second in this opera…Even the Valkyrie Brünnhilde waits in the dressing room for several hours, but then it's worth it. The Swedish soprano Åsa Jäger dominated with a powerful voice in the sweeping final scene …The endlessly escalating love duet, full of emotional twists and poetic turns of phrase, built up and concluded the entire evening excitedly, even in the spirit of the given symphonic freedom, to the logically expected effective, satisfying full stop.”

“Another outstanding performance was offered by the radiant soprano Janai Brugger, the only woman in the cast, in the trouser role of Pip, the cabin boy and mascot, who gets lost at sea but is eventually rescued by Queequeg. Singing with extraordinary energy, she quickly revealed her character’s good humor and playfulness.”

“Bass Kenneth Kellogg, who is making his Lyric debut, is a fine singer with a big, barrel-like voice, but he might be an even better actor, who as much with body language and facial expressions as words tellingly reveals the inner turmoil and pain of The Father.”
