News

Iolanthe received a rave review from Oregon ArtsWatch

"Phoebe Gildea as Iolanthe has a rich, beautiful voice and was radiant on stage. Her singing role in Act I is minimal, but as the conclusion nears she gets to deliver the opera’s most beautiful aria. Gildea’s performance was touching and convincing."
