Neopal members!
The word is out…the reviews are in…The Elixir of
Love is “a
captivating thing.  Joshua Major has
staged the work with a fine eye for humor and tenderness, and Scott
Bergeson’s
conducting is a lesson in pure pacing, balance and texture. It’s no
surprise to
see the cast, lined up at the footlights in colorful costumes, sporting
enormous smiles as they listen to the overture.” (Plain Dealer 12/5/05)
Of tenor John Osborn, the Akron Beacon Journal
writes “Osborn’s
creamy tone, ultra-smooth phrasing and unforced delivery suited
Donizetti’s bel
canto ideal. The Italiante spin in Osborn’s tone added a special
excitement to
his performance.” (Akron Beacon Journal 12/4/05)
And of our “understudy” set, the Plain Dealer
concludes, “…hats
off to all…for conjuring up theatrical enchantment from the most basic
elements.
In concentrating on the raison d’etre of opera, they stress that the
elixir of
love is music.”
There’s
still time to use YOUR Neopal discount to see
this wonderful production!  Just call

night, 8 PM
