So it was my first time seeing this show and I loved this production. The cast was perfect, although vocally I think their Matt (The Boy) was the weakest especially when it came to his duets with Luisa and El Gallo respectively. The parents were hilarious and had great chemistry. Their El Gallo stood out with his acting, pace and projection. Luisa had a great voice. The Old Actor was a bit creepy and did a lot of adlibing it seemed but he was funny most of the time. The Mute had a lot of energy but sometimes can be distracting. The bare set reminded me of the play Our Town and that it is really the story, the message, the characters and the music that you should pay your attention to. Collapse

The production was very unique in a sense where it took the aspect of manipulation to an extreme level.Most people can relate to the relationship between Evelyn and Adam;basically changing their whole lifestyle or doing things a person wouldn't normally do, all out of being in love.I really liked Evelyn's dominant and manipulative character;in the scene where Evelyn and Phillip got into an arugment, really demonstrated that Evelyn is a dominant person&by; seeing the transformation of Adam revealed that Evelyn has him wrapped around her finger.All the actors did an amazing job fitting into their character.However,Evelyn had me amazed from the start and left me shocked at the end.A new found love turned into an humiliating project.It was interesting to see how manipulation in the form of an art experiment can transform peoples lifes.The set was very simple, it could have been done a bit differently to engage the audience more; the use of colors can be helpful.I give it an A+- A must see!

I was very impressed with the talent in this production and had a wonderful time last sunday. WVLO did a great job presenting a classic with some new twists. I found the end of the show very touching and emotional with powerful performance of Anita and Tony's death. Both these actors were wonderful and enjoyable to watch. I also enjoyed the Maria although she was hard to understand at times...but nonetheless talented. I like the new levels that WVLO is taking there shows and am quite surprised at the critics below. I have been a suscriber for many years and to me, the caliber of shows just keeps getting better and better. So thank you for all the good times and sharing your talents with us. We enjoy all you do.

Having never heard of the show before, I had no idea what to expect. CMTSJ's kids really deliver in this one! It was fantastic to see some new faces as leading roles as well as seeing a show that was age appropriate for the kids in the show. After being very disappointed with last seasons shows, I am so happy that I decided to hold onto my subscription a little longer. Hope the rest of the season is just as fantastic as this show! Bravo!! Collapse

Opera SJ is a gem, and a gift to the Bay Area! Our whole family saw La Cenerentola on Nov 14. All the voices were absolutely wonderful. The orchestra sounded rich and exciting. The physical comedy and costumes kept our 9 year old laughing and engaged, and the superb singing kept our 16 year old opera fan completely enthralled. Don Magnifico (stepfather) and Tisbe (stepsister) were especially funny and convincing - the singers created such full characters. The physical comedy was wonderfully fresh, yet did not distract from the amazing beauty of the music. All the performers made Rossini seem effortless. This is also a great opera for youngsters, and for those new to opera. You have to go and see this! La Cenerentola has become one of my favorites. Collapse

PYT once again delivers an outstanding show! Don't miss Annie; these kids are great! Alex Acevedo's direction and interpretation of this story is spot on. Music Director Tony Gaitan delivers wonderful vocals and a rock-solid orchestra that fills the MVCPA with amazing music. This is a MUST see show for the entire family. There are even real dogs in the show!! Collapse

We took our 2 sons (age 4 and 11) to see the show, they loved it. Staff was very friendly--great place for families. Fun experience for the boys, as most of their toys are the same size as the minis on display, their attention was actually captured! Looking forward to taking our family at Thanksgiving to see again. Thanks! Collapse

I checked this class out with my sister-I wasn't sure what t expect, but it was a very good cool class & we were glad we tried it out. We got to drum, dance, and learn about Aztec arts & culture which was pretty neat. I'd recommend this to anyone whose interested in indigenous art forms from Mexico. Collapse
