Put a Ring On It: Bel Canto at Faneuil

“Anna Richardson and Valerie Osborn made an almost too-good pair as Clorinda and Tisbe, the not-at-all-ugly (just overdressed) stepsisters. Both drew focus with their magnetic stage presence, comic chops and distinguished renditions. They put individual stamps on their respective roles, giving a set of stock characters distinct characteristics and two complementing vocal palettes. Soprano Richardson (Clorinda) was a deliciously petulant brat, boasting rock-solid technique and a clear, sweet tone. Both singers deserve to take on larger and more complex roles—who says wicked deeds shouldn’t be rewarded?”

​”Anna Richardson as Marian Paroo has the voice of an angel. Her pure, sweet voice gives depth to the yearning of Marian for someone in her life that could meet her intelligence. Coppola and Richardson are lovely together … they have a tenderness for each other which is captivating and their duet, “Till There Was You,” on the footbridge with the night sky and the twinkling stars in the background is alone worth the price of admission.”

“Anna Richardson’s pretty-voiced Papagena was energetic and displayed her fantastic physical acting abilities”
