“The Opera belonged, as it should, to it’s hero, Gianni Schicchi, played with bold aplomb by Kristopher Irmiter.  His comic timing and warm, powerful voice controlled the stage much the way Schicchi controls the other characters.”

“The success of this type of work demands singing actors with comic ability, whose actions match musical cues exactly.  This tallented cast was up to the challenge. ... Kristopher Irmiter as Schicchi demonstrated his skill as a comedian.”
