Under the baton of David Sloss, West Bay Opera's 23-piece orchestra provided good accompaniment to the singers throughout the opera. Puentes have all the potentials of a young coloratura Roberta Peters from stage manner to vocal technique to comic timing. Her diction is clear and precise with excellent trills. Coyne's voice is more appropriately fit for musical theatre. This aria is suppose to break the audience's heart and make you have sympathy for her.
Bloom has a tendency to sing flat.
This cast is every bit capable of carrying out Moliere's humor and wit, which brings up the case of casting this opera. Mechem's Tartuffe requires actors that can sing rather than singing actors. Without good timing and acting skills, the audience would not laugh at the appropriate lines, afterall this is a comedy. The star of the show goes to James Akin's Tartuffe. This is Akin's third time in the title and he certainly brought a sense of charm, wit into Tartuffe.
