It was so beautiful. Thank you! The praise was well deserved. Swartz sang with an authentic emotional range that transformed Butterfly from a shy child-bride buffeted by fate to a strong-willed woman fiercely navigating her destiny amid unthinkable cultural and emotional upheaval." --The Star Ledger   MADAMA BUTTERFLY - G.

Their duet at the end of the first act is particularly sumptuous...Swartz, whose mother is Japanese, brings commitment to her portrayal of a young girl who is betrayed not only by her husband, but also by her own culture...Swartz's voice soars beautifully in the second act... Swartz, an experienced opera singer, performs quite creditably in her first turn as Butterfly." -- David Dunkle, The Patriot News 10.6.2005   DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE - W.A.

But the real surprise came when Klein began his first solo as Beren wandering in the forest. With rich and ringing vocals, he brought everyone to absolute attention. Other highlights were performances by David Gagnon as Finrod and C. David Morrow as Sauron. Tami Swartz, Klein's fiancée in real life, was a compelling Lúthien in her blue mantle, with long brown hair, a clear voice and a pure gaze, while Klein, with even longer hair, stalked the stage in a tunic and knee-high moccasins.The story lends itself to opera perfectly -- the guy of lesser origins wants the high-born girl, her parents hate him, they send him on an impossible quest to get rid of him, and then problem after problem ensues, with arias or duets sung at each turn. I would like to see the second half someday, and there is a chance, as Klein called out, "Part 2 next year!" as the applause subsided." -- TheOneRing.net 7.3.2006   AT THE EDGE OF PORPOISE BAY Music by Paul Miller, Union Square Music 1996 Ted Rosenthal - Piano Dick Oatts - Tenor Saxophone Jacqui Carrasco - Violin Katherine Sinsabaugh - Viola Pamela Greitzer - Cello Scott Colley - Bass Terry Clarke - Drums Available at Amazon.com At The Edge of Porpoise Bay - 2nd Movement. . . .215KB streaming .mp3 format Vergnugungen - 3rd Movement. . . .221KB streaming .mp3 format
