The usual suspects — old timers, Adler fellows and Merola grads — included Catherine Cook's grumpy Berta and Ricardo Herrera's scene-stealing Ambrogio/ Review |

Adler Fellow Eugene Brancoveanu turned in yet another high-octane performance -(two of them this time, first as Fiorello, then as the police sergeant). It's past time for him to get the lead role he deserves./ Review: '06- Il Barbiere di Siviglia |

1972*(spot) Fiorello's "employer be damned" recitative at the end of the first scene was included, as it almost never is in Barber performances. * Reviews from Arthur Bloomfield's 1922-1978 The San Francisco Opera. |
Kudos, too, for the ever-reliable Catherine Cook as Berta. She took a star’s turn with the aria “Il vecchiotto cerca moglie.” Review |
