Opera chorus
in top form

From page 20

it lacked the requisite finesse
was Zhang's Act I dance-
song.
In the secondary roles,
Norine Burgess as Maddalena,
Brian Nickel as Marullo, and
Stefan Szkafarowsky doubling
as Count Monterone and the
professional assassin
Sparafucile, all sang with con-
viction and acted well.

The chorus, prepared by
Leslie Uyeda, was in top
form, proving yet again that it
is Vancouver Opera’s most
dependable asset.

No review of Rigoletto is
complete without an appraisal
of the famous quartet. The
tonged-for miracle requires
four well-balanced and expres-
sive voices, combined with
carefully gauged support from
the orchestra, On Saturday
night, the result was riveting
and beautiful.

In spite of its imperfec-
tions, it was a moving and
enjoyable Rigoletto. In this
context, it might be useful to
point out that even the scare
contains a few minor flaws. Or
maybe Verdi had a-different
idea of perfection than we do.
