Past Production Reviews
3"The packed theatre witnessed the unnamed protagonists, performed by Erik Larson (baritone), Bridget Cappel (mezzo), Heeseung Chae (baritone), Regina Morgan (soprano), Tim McGowan (tenor) and Helen Hassinger (soprano II), use song, movement, lighting, liminal space and minimal props to create a timeless repertoire that aroused all sensation and crafted a haunting message of isolation and loneliness, even as the chorus was united in song and choreography. Touching upon government corruption, the war against drugs, religion, corporate culture, and the matter of and fallout with war itself, the story line weaved in a transient manner and had a dreamlike quality; the movement shifted with the musical intonations, from urgency to boneless suspension. Characters shuffled through a series of individual conflicts with post-modern facets of daily life, concluding with “Father Death Blues” in an enlightened reverence on death and finality to advance toward literal and figurative light."
Tenor César Delgado was a riveting Diego/Zorro. No stranger to the bel canto stylings asked of the role, he sang with a consistent richness of tone and flexibility throughout his wide range.
César Delgado brought a full-bodied tenor and ample charisma to the title role. He unleashed stirring high notes, but also revealed the tender side of his voice in hushed nuances.
