Tacoma Opera Reviews

   Excellent production despite very uncomfortable seating.

 We had to leave after act 2 as the seats were cramped to sit in. A real disappointment  

 Awesome performances by Mimi and Rodolfo and Musetta and Marcello! Beautiful sets and costumes! We enjoyed the Sunday show so much! Congratulations!

 I love the beauty and the intimacy of the Pantages Theater. Our Center Loge seats made the subtitles easy to see while taking in everything on stage. The story in the event brochure prepared us to follow the actions on stage. The Theater staff were very helpful.

    Fantastic opera. I loved every minute of it. The singing was amazing.

   Managing director is doing an outstanding job!

 A friend (who had never been to an opera) joined me for this performance and loved it. The music was beautiful as were the voices and backdrops/scenery. I especially enjoyed seeing all the young talent on stage.

   Along with the voices, the fluid, natural acting made this production a standout. Although Mimi (Kristin Vogel) had some trouble expressing the high notes, her voice blended seamlessly with Rodolfo's (Nathan Granner). I saw some audience tears at the end. All the principals made their characters come alive, and Benoit's (Miles Rind) turn provided welcome comic relief in a bass baritone that became the center of attention when he was on stage.

 Nathan Granner and the orchestra were, to me, both outstanding! Thank you Tacoma Opera!

   I took my mother-in-law to this opera as she expressed that she'd really love to go. I was pleasantly surprised that we both lived it! The story brought me to tears. And to think, I thought I was going for her! (Thank you for the reader board in English. So helpful.)

   Wonderful. Thank you so much. It was a beautiful performance.

   Mimi was my fav! Every voice a treasure! Better than Seattle opera!!!! And a better value too.

  I loved this multigenerational arts focus and the youth both on stage and in the upper balcony. Legacy work!

     Excellent, moving performance and a gorgeous venue.

   Everything was presented with polish and professionalism.

   Amazing!

   Lovely venue. Loads of talent on stage.

   From the very beginning when I sat down on the most comfortable theater sets I ever.sat on.The theater is breath taking,and magical. The performers in this Opera were magnificent in there performance. I loved how the vocal traslation was visibly set high above so everyone could follow the story. The children were amazing and delightful. You All made this a very special and memorable night. I want to Thank You All from the bottom of my heart ♥.

   Gorgeous production, soaring arias! Don’t miss this exciting show!

   Wonderful performance. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

     Great seats! Perfect view of the supertitles. This was so well-produced, directed, and performed. Loved the cast! The sets were so well done (the snow was amazing!) The orchestra was superb. And of course, I always love love love the Pantages!
