Coming from the Washington DC area I was amazed by my experience at the Utah Festival Opera. As an artisan myself, I found the sets of both Madam Butterfly and Hunchback to be versatile and beautiful and extremely well made. The orchestra played beautifully along with all of the amazing singers and vocalist. I Particularly loved Claude Frollo's voice. Amazing! The take they took on the Hunchbacks character touched me greatly, deepening the tale into one about love and acceptance of others no mater their differences. It was Beautiful! Both actors portrayed the emotion and depth of their Characters in a way I have never felt from this story before. Their performance truly captivated me. I absolutely loved everything about it. Including my experience from the staff and ticket office. Everyone was so kind, friendly and personal. I also love the authentic feel of the theater with its beautiful murals and interior. I would recommend this opera house to all for a beautiful experience. Thank You!
