Cast Highlights

Featured Cast & Artistic Staff

Don Giovanni will be sung by hunky Keith Phares, whose 2007 work in The End of the Affair was called "magnificent" and his voice described as a "ringing, bronze baritone [that is] always pleasing to the ear." - The Kansas City Star

"But the star, judging by the audience's ovation at the end was [Andrew] Gangestad. His Leporello was funny and puppy-dog charming with hints of being capable of his own deception. He employed a big, rich bass that was particularly impressive throughout 'Madamina! Il catalog e questoas' as he unfurled Giovanni's list of conquests for the spurned Elvira," - Arizona Daily Star
