What a delight! A unique production of what is now a "Standard," staged beautifully to focus on the principals, framed with dynamic Madcap "scenery" that moved, framing the action, played by an on-stage orchestra for all to see, conducted by a sensitive maestro, with eyes flashing, leading the singers and players masterfully, acted with a freshness and humor that engaged the audience from the start, sung beautifully with a week yet dramatic personal touch that bound the singers together and with a chorus and dance scene that surprised and amazed the audience like a pinata at a birthday party. Not just a chestnut, but a Feast! By God, you did it! Congratulations!
It was the best of many good arts performances I have seen in 2012. Truly.
Thank you to all the people who made "Amahl" the highlight of the Christmas season. I hope we can look forward to seeing it again next year.
It would be the next thing to criminal not to do this every year!
We were enchanted by the "Amahl" production! We love this opera and thought that it was greatly enhanced by the quality of the musicians, the wonderful puppets and the intimate setting of Gallagher Hall.
The addition of the larger than life puppets made it more kid friendly and magical (magical Magi)!
