Die Kathrin

“Stage director Elizabeth Margolius provided a seminar in how to stage a difficult opera in concert. With two ramps leading through the orchestra to the front of the stage, she handled the traffic flow of the large cast with variety and efficiency. While the cast sang mostly from stands, the director added an inspired touch by having Toomey and Bix sing to each other directly in the final scene, making the impact of their ultimate reunion both visually and musically effective.”
