A truly collaborative and wonderful effort from all involved. May 1, 2012Ghosts of Versailles a Huge Success!The reviews are in, and the MSM production of Ghosts of Versailles is a unanimous winner. The New York Times says "Gideon Dabi as Beaumarchais....[was] a standout...among a winning ensemble." Feast of Music's Michael Cirigliano II writes, "Beaumarchais was brilliantly played by Gideon Dabi, whose rich baritone traversed both the comedy and sadness of his character's journey." Lastly, SuperConductor's Paul Pelkonen writes, "Mr. Dabi was affecting as the poetic hero." Much more to come! December 11, 2011Ghosts!Just days after our glowing review of Cosi fan tutte (see link below), I am proud to announce our next production, John Coriglianio's Ghosts of Versailles (directed by Jay Lesenger and conducted by Stephen Osgood), in which I will be singing Beaumarchais. Should be a great show with such a wonderfully talented production and musical staff (not to mention the singers)!
