OUTSTANDING... PASSIONATE AND INTEGRATED WITH THE ORCHESTRAL SOUND.

"Tenor Richard Trey Smagur, as Siegmund, and soprano Meghan Kasanders, as his twin sister/lover Sieglinde, have outstanding sequences in the first act in which their singing not only expressed their passion but became integrated with the orchestral sound in the way that is a Wagner specialty."
