2011 - Simply Grimm
"WOW what a great show. Amazing performances all around. Its hard to believe that these wonderful little operas are being hosted in such an intimate venue."
"Women was my first exposure to opera and I was completely won over. ... I found the delivery understandable and enjoyable. ... I finally "get" what opera is about. I love to share my first opera experience with friends ... and look forward to a return visit to Ovations. What a unique theater. Lone Star Lyric pushed the envelope of my musical experience, and that is very satisfying."
"... The audience's favorite clearly was the reverie I Dream of Sex sung by the character Sloth [Oliver Worthington]. The scene where several characters play blackjack grew into almost hysterically frenzied fun. ... A key focus of LSLTF is local singers... All the singing was eager and communicative... I particularly enjoyed mezzo-soprano Nancy Markeloff's intense but smooth work as Glutton in The Masque... Soprano Eileen Benvegnu oozed personality and vocal sparkle as the maid Adele in Orlovsky's Opulent Affair. LSLTF cofounder and soprano Kelli Estes eased into an appealing intensity as the Thief in The Masque. ...the vivaciousness was catching."
"If operetta... is "pure whipped cream," then Houston's annual Lone Star Lyric Theatre Festival must surely be the cherry on top."
2007 - Inaugural Season
"Kelli Estes and the LSL production team have created something very special for the Houston community. Don't miss a Lone Star Lyric performance!"
