Praise for FALSTAFF from Pittsburgh in the Round: 

"Vocally, the cast is one of uniform excellence."

Benjamin Bloomfield "possesses a baritone voice capable of great power, but finesse and subtle nuances are at his command as well" ... Joshua Jeremiah "is commanding and quite agreeable to the eye"... Natalie Polito "is captivating"... Amelia D'Arcy "gave a sterling performance. Her ringing soprano, lively acting, and facial expressions were positively delightful"... Kara Cornell "seemed to “live” her role, as she always does, and was another highlight of the evening" ... Brooke Larimer "displayed a richly hued voice and nicely timed comedic ability" ... Ben Robinson's "acrobatic acting of the part were fun additions to an impressive vocal performance. His antics with Matt Scollin, the reliable, versatile and powerfully voiced bass-baritone, as Pistola, were among the most entertaining highlights of the evening." ... Chris Lucier & Joseph Gaines "were talented additions to the large cast" ...

"This operatic endeavor on the part of Resonance Works most decidedly deserves capacity patronage...Take Mom, a friend, anybody – to a musical treat that they’re not likely to forget any time soon." - G.Parous, Pittsburgh in the Round
