Ariadne Auf Naxos

  It was very cute, and the singing was excellent! I shall return! Thanks!

Loved the show, physical space, location!!!

Closing night of Ariadne auf Naxos was delightful! It was as clever and witty as intended, while also delivering the hoped-for richness of Strauss' original. Wonderful performances all around. Bravo and thank you, Barn Opera! I look forward to The Letters of Charlotte in December. Joshua Collier and the staff at the Barn Opera truly care for their patrons. I feel very lucky to be able to see this high level of live opera performance so close to home.

This opera was fun to watch. The acting and singing were really good. This small barn venue is such an intimate place. What we appreciated most, was the subtitles since this opera was sung mostly in German - especially Act 2. With the subtitles, we could follow the storyline. Without them, we would have missed that entirely. Understanding the story was half of the opera. So, thank you so much for those subtitles. Because you do that, we will be back for another opera!

A diamond in the rough. Energetic and entertaining as some talented performers sing and bounce their way through Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos. 

It was our first time at Barn Opera. We thought the venue was pure Vermont - rustic, comfortable, intimate and fun. The performances were outstanding and the voices, in particular, were wonderful. It was also great that the performers, director et al seemed to be having as much fun as the audience. We'll be back! As an aside, our son (Jake Lacy, Drama '08) attended NCSA at roughly the same time as Josh Collier - what a wonderful training ground for performance artists!

The performance was great fun with young singers giving their all. We especially enjoyed the soprano playing Zerbinetta. Transporting the location to Vermont was inspiring. And the English subtitles were witty. Thank you very much!
