So I am very tired I am just going to give a quick overview.
Aida: She had an amazing lower register...had such emotion and power...yet everytime she would go for the ending powerful notes (Dance of the Robe, The Gods Love Nubia, Easy as Life) it lacked power. It was missing something. It was on key and everything but it was just missing the chill-factor I really wanted out of her.
Amneris: Completely stole the show away. Her comedic timing was amazing, voice was stunning...She did an absolutely wonderful job. I would go deeper into it but there were not flaws in her performace.
Radames: He was Okay. Radames is a hard part to play I think. I am torn on him. Good voice...but missing something.
Other notables:
Mereb: Funny, great voice, sometimes over-the-top but good comedic relief in the beginning scenes.
Nehebka: So, I am not sure if she was sick but she sounded like Macy Gray....dieing. She cracked in The Gods Love Nubia and it was just a mess. She sounded sick, so I think that it was that...hopefully it was...
Now I know I left other characters out but if they are not included they were OK. Nothing special.
Ensemble: Men were much better than the females. The Gods Love Nubia was DISSAPOINTING. They had no power, were very quite...overall that was their worst song. Loved Fortune Favors the Brave and Dance of the Robe. Strongest Suit was good but the woman lacked the mens vocal power.
Overall good casting aside from a few people and overall a very good performance. I would recommend it for anyting in the area. Goodnight
(I apologize now if there are spelling errors)
