Bravo! Bravo! What a wonderful opera by all of the cast members.
I was impressed with the aria by Olympia in the first act. Her song kept you on the edge of your seat and made you want to be a soprano!
By far the best character of the entire opera was Spalanzani from act 1, played by the super talented tenor Mark Schowalter. His voice was harmonious and smooth as he played the strong and sneaky doll maker. He played the character with zeal and pasison seen by few other actors/singers. Mark Schowalter is truly a person to watch in the opera world and a tremendous gift to his craft.
