“Ricardo Garcia as Romeo and Vanessa Becerra as Juliet put across the youthful energy and beautiful voices needed for these demanding roles.” “A great way to introduce those who don’t know they’re going to love opera to its glories.” “Beautifully stylized! An outstanding production !” Garcia’s voice had just the right, heroic timbre for Romeo. “Tenor Ricardo Garcia and soprano Vanessa Becerra were both ideally suited to their roles as the star-crossed lovers … acted their roles with appropriate passion. “The BLO orchestra and chorus performed admirably under the firm hand of music director David Angus. “…an audience of thousands, reclining on blankets and beach chairs while absorbing Gounod’s exquisite melodies” “Exquisite melodies! A treat a rare opportunity to experience Romeo & Juliet“ “It was good to see BLO back on the Common, and the company deserves credit for delivering this opera as a kind of gift to the city at large.” “BLO music director David Angus had the orchestra and chorus sounding in good form, and his fluid, idiomatic approach to Gounod’s voluptuously songful score anchored the evening as a whole.” “Vanessa Becerra as Juliet a gifted young soprano on the rise, she sang with clarity, luster, and charisma.”
“The performance was lifted by its strong singing and the fine work from the onstage 47-piece orchestra.” “A well-executed, rewarding night of opera in the heart of the city!”
