“Conductor JOSEPH MECHAVICH leads the orchestra in an energetic performance of Catán’s mystical score. Four lead roles are double cast — including Riolobo, a crew member who is more than he appears — but the opening-night stars all give strong performances, including Sandra Lopez in full-on diva mode as Florencia and, especially, SUSANNAH BILLER and Andrew Bidlock as the reluctant young lovers.
In secondary roles, ADRIANA ZABALA is a standout as Paula for her melancholy mezzo, along with her wonderful comic chemistry with LEVI HERNANDEZ as Álvaro.” -AZ Central
