The singing counts by far as the best aspect of this off-kilter production. Led by tenor Paul Appleby, who gives a convincingly masculine portrayal of Tamino, the cast is uniformly good in spite of the oft-distracting set and projections. Appleby (making his SF Opera debut) keeps the varying moods of his part clear, from whimsical to wise. As Pamina, Nadine Sierra shines in her duets (though she needs to project more in her spoken dialogue) and conveys especially poignant emotions in her suicide aria. (Sarah Shafer sang the role in the first four performances of the run.) German bass Alfred Reiter likewise creates a Sarastro of gravitas (though he is at times drowned out by the once again overly loud orchestra, otherwise conducted competently by Lawrence Foster). The Russian soprano Albina Shagimuratova, as the Queen of the Night, hits all her high Fs with requisite coloratura verve. Oddly, she has a habit of looking down and holding an out-of-character grin on her visage (but that may have been an effect of the strange makeup and headdress she wears).

Reviews for "Explore the Ancient Rituals of Wiccan Initiation at our Workshop"
1. John - 1/5 stars - I recently attended a Wiccan event in my town and was highly disappointed. The organizers lacked professionalism and failed to properly plan the event. The schedule was disorganized, with no clear structure or flow. Additionally, the event lacked engaging activities or workshops; it felt more like a social gathering than an educational or spiritual experience. Overall, my experience with this Wiccan event was underwhelming, and I would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the Wiccan event in my town, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The venue was poorly chosen, as it lacked the necessary space for the number of attendees. This resulted in crowded and uncomfortable conditions. Furthermore, the event lacked variety in terms of speakers and workshops. It felt repetitive and didn't offer any new insights or knowledge. Overall, I was disappointed with the organization and content of this Wiccan event, and I wouldn't attend it again.
3. Michael - 1/5 stars - Attending the Wiccan event in my town was a waste of time and money. The event seemed more focused on making a profit rather than providing a meaningful experience for attendees. The vendors were overpriced, and the quality of the products they offered was subpar. Additionally, the workshops were poorly planned and lacked depth. I was hoping to learn and explore more about Wiccan practices, but instead, I left feeling unsatisfied and ripped off. I wouldn't recommend this event to anyone seeking an authentic Wiccan experience.
