“Not only was this the best Barbiere I have ever seen, it ranks as one of the dozen or so most memorable experiences I have enjoyed in 40 years of attending opera. The producer David Edwards turned this warhorse into a show that was as fresh, zany and relevant as it must have been to Rossini’s audiences nearly 200 years ago. And a ‘show’ it was!” Robert Markow, OPERA, November 2007
