Had I known that Tacoma Opera was going to put on a Lesbian opera I would NEVER have wasted the over $250.00 I spent taking my grandchildren to see it .The only redeeming feature of the opera's presentation was the beautiful ballet performed by Tacoma Ballet. By this orientation to lesbian opera you have shown your utter contempt for the religious belief's of those who treasure the Muslim, Jewish and Christian faiths. As

 Especially impressed with the chorus!

 WOW! Tacoma Opera does it again. That was one of the most memorable experiences of a performance. I am endlessly impressed with the focus being on the voices and music. What a cast!!! Composition is amplified when there aren't too many distractions. The staging was powerful and elevated the emotions. Incorporating the ballet was a first for me. Such a beautiful way to connect the story. Thoroughly enjoyed that. My live music quota is wonderfully overfilled! &

 I wrote my remarks on this play in the first question.

 The singing and orchestra was dandy. When the ballet floated unto the stage my excitement grew. Those poor little girls were denied the opportunity to displayed their hard earned skills. The choreography seemed to written as a Monty Python skit. Line six girls on the stage and send a pouncing dancer across, now send two from the other side,… The dismall choreography distracted from my enjoyment of the event. We left at intermission.

 Everything was totally gorgeous. The staging, what there was of the set (and it was very nicely minimalist that kept the focus on the performance), singing and dancing all wonderful. I brought a friend who has not been to the Opera in a long time and she totally enjoyed it & I expect will be back for more.

 Great Opera. Well done. You should be proud.

 A beautifully executed opera; every aspect of this production was excellent.

 Loved it!

 The performance was beautiful. It may have been minimalist, but in the best sense. Costuming was not elaborate but the voices were a delight to the ear. Adding the ballet dance troupe was genius and really gave the opera a feeling of both grace and movement. I was very impressed with the performance and don't understand why anyone would take issue with both leads being female. Back in the day of Shakespeare, all actors were male. Quality over all.

 I loved having the event co-performed by Tacoma Opera and Tacoma Ballet. I loved the woman Orfeo, and her singing was great! As a visual experience it could have been better: hand gestures seemed over-disciplined.

 I loved the event. The two main singers were excellent, the dancing was wonderful. Orchestra sounded great. An all around wonderful afternoon at the Opera.
