...think his parents would be upset, and they are; but they also respond with a bit of levity. Dave's mother, bemused, humors his irate father with lines like, "Well, we could strangle him in his sleep." Dad, played by Paul Dooley, keeps up a blustering manner with his family, making those rare moments when he lets out some real emotion very powerful. Occasionally the father-son relationship lapses into Mayberry RFD sappiness, but altogether this is the most believable family since "Leave It to Beaver." It's enough to make you believe in middle America...
...Lulu's patron, husband and prime victim, Bass-Baritone William Dooley mordantly conveys the opera's central drama of worldly power and rationality being ravaged by the primal erotic instinct. Among other solid supporting performances, Bass-Baritone Andrew Foldi is funny and touching as Schigolch, the old man who may be Lulu's father and who is as good a key as any to Berg's newly retrieved third act.

In "Come unto these yellow sands," "Full fathom five," and "Where the bee sucks" Ariel has three of Shakespeare's loveliest lyrics; but Morris' supporting vocalists cannot hide the fact that Dooley is simply no singer. The yardstick for the role...
...annals of fictional or, for that matter, real-life adolescent goofiness, Dave's manner of asserting himself is singular, and also hilarious, especially as it bounces off Paul Dooley's expert exasperation as his dad and the wry, wise patience of Barbara Barrie's lovely performance as his mother. But the kid is not totally off the wall. It turns out that he is a talented, self-taught bicycle racer and that his fondness for things Italiano is really a reflection of his admiration for that nation's pre-eminence in the sport. Cycling becomes more...
