Pacific Opera Project / Reseñas

POP’s cast for this production was excellent. Right from the start, from the male chorus’s “We Are Gentlemen of Japan,” I found myself reflecting on the fact that the diction was exceptionally clear at all times – an important consideration when delivering Gilbert’s lines.

The element of the production that stands out brightest is its gaggle of mincing manga maidens. From their neon-bright lip-gloss to their cotton candy outfits and Hello Kitty backpacks, these young ladies are a visual, vocal, and comic delight.
