...placing the stage in the center of the audience, intermittently rotating the carousel-like platform in the center and constantly shifting the lighting, director Matthew Kwatinetz '98 let each audience member receive a unique perspective of the action onstage. The accompanying instrumental music often blended seamlessly with the tension and emotion of the events on stage--although some of the first act scores seemed better suited to the contrived drama of a made-for-TV movie...

Though Donizetti saves his very best for Nemorino's duets with Adina, every major character enjoys at least a few minutes of choice aria...
