My favorite opera of all time is "The Barber of Seville", and the El Paso Opera did not disappoint! Great performers, the orchestra was fantastic, and overall, amazing in every way possible!
I can't say emphasize how wonderful this production was! I've seen Barber many times-in big venues-this was the Best! We laughed so hard-and the principals were in great voice. Get there NOW!!!!
Me and my boyfriend have never been to an opera before, so we were not sure if we would like it. But it was a breath-taking experience, the sound, the visual effects... Highly recommend!
The Barber of Seville was superb! We would definitely recommend.
Great performance!!! I enjoyed it very much and will recommend it to all my friends.
Good but had terrible seats did not enjoy the performance.
Everything about the opera was outstanding. The orchestra was incredible, each piece of music made you sink deeper into the story. Accordingly, the voices of the actors/singers were powerfully captivating and their enthusiasm and energy drove the show towards perfection. Overall, the performance was great, I felt the music, laughed constantly and left completely satisfied.
Such Talent! Such voices! And the venue was spectacular! I had never been to the Opera before - let alone an Italian Opera! The sub-titles helped us to really enjoy the performance and gave us enough to know what was going on with the show . The acting and singing were so good that even without the subtitles we could have figured out the plot. Great charactarization and lively acting!
The play was great and easy to follow. The singers and actors did an outstanding job and kept it funny. A little long, but worth it.
The Barber of Seville was hilarious, my boyfriend and I laughed so much we almost cried. It was unforgettable. Now I know what the Bugs Bunny cartoons were about too now. It was culture, entertainment, and comedy. It was great!!!
The entire cast was great. Figaro was especially outstanding. I would love to see him in another opera. This is recommended for all to see!!!!!!
This was a fun little opera and the actors did a great job. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates opera or is curious about attending their first.
This was our families first opera to attend. We chose this one due to its comedic nature. We all enjoyed it though didn't realize how long it would be and found we were a little tired by the end. All the singers were wonderful, we thoroughly enjoyed their performances and their vocal ranges. The venue was the perfect size for this type of performance. By the way, we also loved the GRS orchestra as they did a fine job and we were entertained. Our son plays the viola and I know he loved the performance-I am always happy when he gets the opportunity to view and listen to professional performances as I feel it further enhances his love for the music.
Spent the weekend in Downtown Grand Rapids with my wife. We went to the De Vos Place to see The Barber of Seville. The production was excellent. The Count, Figaro, & Rosina performers did a fabulous job. Certainly a night we will remember. Can not give 5 stars, and to no fault of the production, but rather the ushers would allow the doors entering the seating area to slam shut during the performance. This was not isolated to one area, but not a deal breaker. Will return the Opera Grand Rapids.
Loved it. It was fantastic and well done. The cast did an excellent job and the backdrops were beautiful. It was comical and very entertaining.
Barber of Seville was entertaining and well staged. Ashley Emerson is to be commended as well as Jerett Gieseler for sound vocals and ease in acting. Scott Bearden handled the fast passages with clarity and amazing diction. At times the well-rehearsed orchestra overpowered the actors' voices.
I am a new Opera fan, not musically "gifted" to say the least. I totally enjoyed this opera production. The music, the acting, the costumes, all wonderful. I laughed out loud, and was mesmerized by the music and voices!
The Barber of Seville was an impressive performance by all.
The voices were incredible, the acting was fluid and comic. The staging enhanced and didn't detract from the opera. It's also the first time I've been to an opera with subtitles (provided by a easy-to-read electronic display above the proscenium arch of the theater. It really helped to highlight the comic timing in song and movement among the company.
Enjoyed the performance. Singers, costumes, set, seats. Great job
