Complementary to Brody is Jeffrey Wright as the womanizing, ruthless, and somehow lovable Muddy Waters. Although it appears that Wright is mimicking the jowly facial expressions of Brando’s Don Corleone a little too closely, his believable performance shows his range as an actor—something his meager part in the recent “Quantum of Solace” did not.

Hargis also worked with the character of Erisbe (Felicia Plunkett) on her two duets: one with the title character, Ormindo (Jay Smith) and the other featuring Erisbe’s husband, Amida (James B. Onstad ’09). In these duets, Hargis pointed out that in Baroque performance practice...
