Madama Butterfly, San Francisco Opera
Review
La traviata, Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra
“This is a genuine three-hanky show, grandly performed by a talented cast . . . Caballero and Brian Jagde, as Alfredo, are so good that you can’t help but root for them to recapture their love and, just this once, avoid the tragedy that awaits the endings of all great operas. Alas, it is not to be, but they sure are emotionally gripping to watch along the way.”
