Pacific Lyric Association Reviews

 It was a little confusing finding the theater from the parking lot in the dark, but overall, excellent experience and well done for new opera goers.

 It was our first opera! We appreciated the narration that was done in character. It helped us so much to enjoy the performance

 The ticketing on the internet especially with the Escondido venue was impossible!!! I gave up hope when I saw the $180 - $240 range for tickets. I doubt many folks have that kind of money in these crucial economic times!!! My husband thought it would be a good idea/incentive to offer BOGOF or 5for5 to incentivize people to bring friends and hopefully built the opera base locally!

 I never received a reply to my email inquiry, but otherwise no issues.

 Would have preferred Supertitles to the interpreter on the side stage. I guess you have a tight budget. I am friends with Emily Weinberg's parents so it was so imperative that I see her performance of Carmen! She was outstanding and was so impressed!

 Great time!

 The production did an excellent job of seamlessly blending the English explanations into the production, creating a production that was very accessible to elementary students. Their teacher guide was excellent to help answer all the curious questions of first-time opera goers.

 My 1st opera in a long time. Very enjoyable! The performances were excellent and the orchestra did an outstanding job. Well done!

 My husband and I have been fans of the Pacific Lyric Opera for several years and always enjoy their productions!

 Great show supporting a good cause and local artists!

 It was a magical show

 Thank you for a great performance!

 Wonderful performance. Totally enjoyed the talented singers and drama. Especially appreciated the narration in English.

 Amazing amazing production ! The cast was incredible. The only thing that threw me during the performance was the narration of the opera. I found it distracting and not true to the original opera. But everyone was truly fantastic and I enjoyed the performance so much.

 Wonderful event. The cast and crew were amazing.

 Glorious voices, wonderful acting, and beautiful sets. What more could you ask for? Several friends attended with me who had never seen a PLA performance, and they were wowed! Bravissimo!

 Nice small venue. We could see and hear everything beautifully.

 It was fabulous! We were part of the Emily Weinberg Fan Club (she's like a second daughter to us) and she did herself proud that night as Carmen! But in addition, the voices, costumes, and backdrops were all lovely an made for a most enjoyable evening of theater!

 It was wonderful experience.

 Very creative way to show opera! Loved everything! I am on your mailing list now and hope to see more from you!

 First ten mins dragged. Chorus not together briefly in two places. Picky, Picky. Singers individually great. Percussion guy outstanding.

 Very much
