He is flawless throughout. There are two more performances: Friday, Nov. 3 at 7:30 and Sunday, Nov. 5 at 3 pm. This is an outstanding production with universally great singers, a good orchestra, and nice staging. Unfortunately, the house was probably less than half full yesterday. McIntyre Hall in Mount Vernon is a jewel of a facility and this opera company deserves support. Even the least expensive seats ($25) are fine. I urge everyone who likes classical music and the arts to try to get to this opera. You won’t be sorry.

Puget Sound Opera was previously known as Skagit Opera and the name change may be confusing to some who have followed this company–which has become increasingly good with each performance (two a year).

I work for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival and have lots of Googling duties…
