Review
of The Elixir of Love
by Theresa Brodie
|
|
The
Other Press
|
|
|

|
"One
of the greatest strengths of this Burnaby Lyric Opera production
was its music director, Karen Anne Shumka...She provided the
"orchestra" with such artistry that it gave special clarity
to the production...Her comprehensive stage knowledge and
musical talent makes takes this production out of the ordinary.
You hardly notice there's not a full 32-piece orchestra supporting
the singers with Shumka at the keyboard."
