Wonderful! Stunning! Remarkably also the very end, the rendition of the scene with the handkerchief.

Never heard of Mount Vernon or Pacific NW Opera. Now they're both on my radar 🤗

I watched this twice, everything is great, I wish I was there, the set is fabulous, a GREAT video, move over Seattle Opera, this company is so much better.

[@papagen00]

Seattle Opera was so much better with Speight Jenkins.

[@MaestroWenarto]

duh yeah, I am glad she is gone and I wonder who is the new general manager @@papagen00

Sorry, couldn't get past the performance of the overture, though based on comments I have no doubt the singing was good.
