A standout “Amahl” closes the year with warm Christmas spirit
“Shakespearean veteran Susan Hart directed in her operatic debut… [Hart] deserves enormous credit for the success of this performance, as it unfolded with the natural dramatic rhythm one expects from an experienced troupe…. She and Macfarlane, along with the rest of the musicians and cast, received roaring applause from a clearly appreciative audience, who had experienced what one can trust will be a highlight of their holiday seasons” (Chicago Classical Review).
