@punchinker Depends on who you ask. G & S came long before Andrew Lloyd Webber and so the styles of singing popular during their time seem to be the most appropriate for performance of their work. Also, this was a production put on by Knoxville Opera, so it stands to reason that they were going to have a show that was operatic in style. If they had wanted a musical theater voice they would have hired one. It is entirely a matter of personal preference.
She has a terrific 'opera' voice, agreed. But doesn't G & S call for a little less 'Verdi' and a bit more' Lloyd Webber'?
