This was among the most natural and believable casts I've yet seen in an ALO production, backed up by the fine accompaniment of maestro Richard Buckley's orchestra." Bravo to Stage Director Garnett Bruce for helping his performers capture not only the whimsical and tragic natures of their characters but also the great ease with which the set and props become playground for effective storytelling through movement. "From the very first moments, it was clear there was much reason for the buzz. Paul Horsley, The Kansas City Star, September 22, 2002
Under Garnett Bruce's direction, the hyper-energized cast moved with animation when necessary, as in the deftly timed Latin Quarter scene of Act 2, which ticked along like well-oiled machinery.And they stood still at the right moments, as in the intimate third act, where we really just need to focus on the characters' anguish." "The way to make La bohème click is to avoid overstuffing it with frills and pageantry.The Lyric Opera of Kansas city's production of Puccini's classic won the audience's heart on Saturday at the Lyric Theatre with upretentious sets and six vivacious singers who captured the eye and ear. Timothy McDonald, Johnson County Sun, September 27, 2002 "Stage director Garnett Bruce was very successful in making the opera playful and humorous, particularly in the opening of the final act."
