Great Review for Tom Diamond’s Giulio Cesare at IU Opera Theatre

Tapestry Resident Director Tom Diamond received a fantastic review from WIFU Public Radio for his February 2009 production of Handel’s Giulio Cesare at Indiana University Opera Theatre.

“Guest stage director Tom Diamond has done a fine job in both offering the singers plenty of space in which to sing and then enough business during the interludes to keep the drama in focus. There’s also plenty of action in this Giulio Cesare, some very clever staging of the conflict between Caesar and scheming Tolomeo and some just gorgeous scenes. The sets come from an earlier production, but Diamond’s use of them and the lighting by Michael Schwandt make them all very much a new experience.”
