Leïla: Larissa Yudina Nadir: Brian Stucki Zurga: David Adam Moore Nourabad: Patrick Carfizzi Principal Dancers: Bobby Briscoe, Lisa Gillespie Conductor: Gerard Schwarz Stage Director: Kay Walker Castaldo Lighting Designer: Neil Peter Jampolis Choreographer: Peggy Hickey Sets and costumes: Philadelphia Opera (Boyd Ostroff, Richard St. Clair)Simple yet effective stage sets. Sophisticate lighting imitates water and diving. Better dancing numbers than most. Both Nadir and Zurga went shirtless, and they looked great (probably lots of workout during the past half year). Leila needs to loose some weight. But her voice is superb.
