Royal Opera Cast Delights Iowa City Audiences
The New York City Opera traveling company staged Rossini’s The Barber of Seville at Hancher Auditorium with a strong young cast led by Alfred Anderson and Deborah Lucas. Richard Buckley kept a 26 piece orchestra tight, though some ensemble moments faltered. Scott Reeves and Roger Lucas gave strong performances as Basilio and Almaviva while Deborah Lucas impressed with agile high notes and aria choices. Scenery was basic, costumes and lighting praised, and the storm finale orchestra work earned special praise.
