 I hate the Pantages Theater. The space is uncomfortable and awkward, if not dangerous. Management is poor. I love The Ring, and there was much to like in your production but if I don't come back for more, it will be because of the venu.

 This was my first time seeing a performance from Tacoma Opera and I was not disappointed. Love that they have the guts to do something like, the Ring series. And the director was right in his opening speech, Seattle is not the only one worthy of doing such performances. Look forward to more performances.

 Google maps gave us the wrong address on 30th by Ace Hardware which increased our stress level tremendously. (We drove 6 hours to get to the performance!) Thank goodness the actual address was on the ticket! But then we had to be seated in the very upper row, since we arrived a few minutes after the start.

Review your experience with Tacoma Opera

 Amazingly done. Solid vocal performances, helped with the smaller, also solid, orchestra in a relatively small room compared to something like McCaw Hall. I thoroughly enjoyed the acting and characterizations - a lot of care was put into the characters' relationships, and little bits of "business" like :Loge contemptuously but casually stepping over the fallen Fasolt brought scenes vividly to life. Fantastic venue (I've never been there), too. Well done!

 Loved everything about the performance. Kudos to Tacoma Opera! I have one comment. We sat in the first row of the Center Loge section, and the brightness of the subtitles was very distracting Since the subtitles were so bright, the light emitting from the subtitle projector was also obvious and distracting. Please consider dimming the subtitles. For comparison, Seattle Opera uses subtitles that are not as bright and do not distract.

 Tacoma Opera did a wonderful job organizing this Ring presentation. I attend other productions at the Pantages Theater each year and found your presentation superior, including ticket entry & the running of internal activities like wine sales to be superior. Congratulations on sets, costums and orchestra's music. A very enjoyable afternoon for all indeed.

 Sad that Seattle Opera called Tacoma Opera “plucky.” French Horns usually have issues with their music. Soloists were good and could be heard(sitting in N-30,31). Disappointed there was an intermission that I was not planning due to parking lot closure at 6PM. The last act was a bit too long so we left early which is not something I enjoy doing.

 This was my ninth different production of Rheingold , and I've seen it many times more. Applause for most of the fine and well cast singers. Rhinemaidens and Wotan were the exception, with intonation and oversinging the main problems. Alberich is a fine singer. Given a better costume, hair, and staging, he would be a standout. It's easy to forget that he should have some degree of power and majesty since he is Schwarz Wotan. He HAS to rival or at least balance Wotan.

 Loved the performance. Can't wait for the next installment. Performers and orchestra were fantastic. I loved that there were children involved. The venue I feel was perfect. In fact, I feel this entire experience was what opera use to be, before giant budgets, pomp and circumstance took over. Where creativity reigns supreme. Talent shine. The audience, everyday people waiting to be transported through storytelling, in a relax setting. You got the guts, keep on going.

 I have seen the Seattle Opera's Ring cycle 4 times over the years, and while I had to adjust my expectations due to their use of the "Green Cycle" sets, the performance was very well done. There were a couple awkward moments (such as Donner and Froh's entrance) but also some wonderful scenes (Alberich's disappearing acts in Neibelheim) that were very well done.

 I love Wagner's Ring and have seen it a dozen times - it actually gets more interesting with repeated exposure. I appreciate a straight-up traditional presentation and especially enjoyed the Rheinmaidens trying to upstage one another during the curtain calls. Sometimes the costumes puzzled me: were some of the men wearing bras?

Oct 04, 2025
by:Barbara Hansen

How did you like the event?

 The intimate nature was a nice change. The minimal sets worked when the singers were connected and convincing in their storytelling. The costumes/wigs were distracting; better to go with all black and a token piece than to turn a serious piece into a farce with the singers looking like cosplay plastic toys.The lack of a real LD and SM was abudantly clear. Fix the costumes, lights, and stage management to avoid a community theater quality, and you could have something special.

 I drove down from Seattle after hearing about Tacoma Opera’s plans, on Classic KING FM, to present Wagner’s complete Ring Cycle over the next four years. What a delight to be there on opening night for Das Rhinegold! All aspects were exceptional, beginning with the excellent notes in the program to the astonishingly beautiful interior of the Pantages Theatre. The orchestra was heroic as were the singers. And hooray for the supra titles. Looking forward to next year.

 Amazing A new community and family tradition has awakened. presentation of Das Rheingold, from the orchestra, to the costumes, to the fresh adaptations of each character… not to mention the voices and musicality. I have seen this opera more than once, in other cities, and never tire of it, but this? For a moment I was thinking, wait, in Tacoma? How did they do it? I guess the Ring was always known for its miracles.

 This was a remarkable production. The singers did a fine job and the orchestration was remarkable--the smaller orchestra never felt like a compromise or "less than". I was surprised and pleased at the use of traditional backdrops rather than a more modern reliance on projections. I imagined that it harkened back to the earlier days of the Pantages and was closer to what early productions might have been.

 A wonderful production! Alberich stole the show! An excellent job of presenting a complicated work. It was sort of a period piece, wonderful costumes, sort of steampunk meets Edwardian in design. It was reminiscent of Seattle's green Ring on a smaller scale with a touch of industrial revolution. I can't wait to see the rest of the Ring Cycle!

 The performances were very good and the music was excellent. The facility itself is atmospheric in the best way. This would have been a 5-star review but for the distracting and disruptive children in attendance. I have no idea why a parent would think it's a good idea to bring a 3 year old. They squealed, talked loudly, and ran about. It absolutely ruined some of the songs. And no action from theater personnel. It will likely keep me from returning.

 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.

 I am glad that you pulled in a large audience of families. i hope you won new fans to fill the seats. As for my opinion about the production, I have seen so many versions of this one that i am probably not one to give a fair review. Just two comments: the singers sang their high notes too long, often to the detriment of the action. I don't understand why the Piu Sostenuto section of the fourth act was played forte. It is written pp to echo happier times. The wh

How did you like the event?

 Loved the tenor. Felt no chemistry between Rodolfo and Mimi and her volume on the frequent high notes hurt my ears. It would work outside, but too much for the space we were in. Musetta was sung and played well. My problem with the production was that I have seen too many Bohemes by the Met. Not fair to a small opera company. You guys did great. Loved the kids. Loved the community spirit. Long live opera!

 The Tacoma Opera production of La Boheme was absolutely spectacular! Every aspect was top notch -- the principal singers, the chorus, the orchestra, the staging, the sets and costumes. We will definitely be back for future performances.

 We greatly enjoyed the evening. At it, we visited with a male friend who is a singer and who has performed and studied opera, including in Italy. His comments helped affirm our own strong dominantly positive feelings about the performance. We felt the lead singers to be especially fine--but we felt that a couple of the support singers were a bit less so. For many reasons, we think it's wonderful and wise that children have been included in recent productions.

 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 ♥.
