Don Giovanni Triumph at SIU Opera Workshop Note
The SIU production of Don Giovanni at Southern University earned praise for strong acting and staging by Montgomery, Thomas, Love, Hodge, Seiglar, and Kingsbury, with Robert Schacke lighting and Darwin Payne's flexible set. Some staging glitches and English diction choices drew mild critique, but overall a highly successful university show. A second performance featured an alternate cast, and a final matinee was scheduled.
