PRAISE FOR OUR 2019 SEASON – CINDERELLA
The Boston Musical Intelligencer said BMO is “Making Patter Matter”:
Everyone showed off highly developed bel canto techniques: legato, staccato, messa di voce, delicious portamento and rubato, and all managed to vary their arias and recitatives into graceful divisions.
PRAISE FOR OUR 2018 SEASON – BARBER OF SEVILLE
The Boston Musical Intelligencer said, “Stunningly Resourceful Barbiere a Must-See”:
Music Director Susan Davenny Wyner and the Boston Midsummer Opera brought Rossini’s great comic opera, The Barber of Seville, to Watertown yesterday with terrific singing, great acting, masterful stage direction, and an excellent orchestra. Go see it Friday or Sunday!
PRAISE FOR OUR 2017 SEASON – ELIXIR OF LOVE
The Boston Globe said, “Midsummer Opera Brews Up a Potent Elixir”:
…sewing it all together was Wyner’s vibrant conducting and Antonio Ocampo-Guzman’s fluid stage direction. These two collaborators seemed to share a unified vision for how best to brew up Donizetti’s own elixir of delight: one part gleaming wit, one part rustic sweetness. Placebo effect? Not a chance.
The Musical Intelligencer discovered “BMO Pours Fine Postion” :
Boston Midsummer Opera’s ebullient production of Donizetti’ s The Elixir of Love, featuring soprano Joanna Mongiardo as a confident Adina and Eric Barry as a hilarious and vulnerable Nemorino, could be the highlight of your summer theatrical experience.
