Reviews
--- The opera was very well staged with a picturesque caravan for the strolling players and a small stage for their performance. John Driscoll's clever lighting created the atmosphere of the piece --- A full harvest moon on the cyclorama increased the pathos when Seaward (Canio) was joined by a little girl. The direction by Carlos Wagner was well planned in his superb presentation.
