Tamino: Jonathan Boyd Pamina: Hanan Alattar Queen of the Night: Mari Moriya Sarastro: Keith Miller Papageno: Leigh Melrose Conductor: Gary Thor Wedow Stage Director: Chris Alexander Costume Designer: Zandra Rhodes Lighting Designer: Duane SchulerOur Queen of the Night has a superb voice. Her high notes came out clear and smooth. She's just a bit too short for a queen.In comparison, our Tamino and Pamina are weak, but better looking. Papageno and Sarastro both have great voices. Our Papageno is such a wonderful actor, he and the costume designer made this production alive. The little Papagenis were also adorable.
This performance had many young attendees. I saw many school kids. The tickets sold well. This was a bravo night. One of the young woman (who's well into her 20s) behind me kept on broadcasting her appreciation. Not sure if she was hoping to impress her date or simply to annoy 100 people in her vicinity. She needs to learn better behavior from those kids. The Q&A session with Jenkins after the show was interesting as usual. However, almost all attendees were white haired.
