Opera News praises Babcock, Van Eyck, & Sloan in Little Women
“Adamo’s well-documented effort to strip down Louisa May Alcott’s sprawling semi-autobiographical novel to a single conflict — the struggle to accept change — is a contributing factor to the work’s success and became a springboard for mezzo-soprano Audrey Babcock, who played the opera’s central character, Jo March. Babcock won empathy as the intractable member of the March family’s four sisters. Her petulance was especially savored as she verbally skewered her sisters’ suitors. She deftly negotiated the score’s angular melodies with incisive pitch, supple coloratura and a well projected, amber-hued tone.”
“Mezzo Jamie Van Eyck, as Jo’s sister Meg, was luminescent in “Things change, Jo,” touching all but her unyielding sister.”
“The music for baritones Chad Sloan, as Meg’s beau John Brook, and Darrell Babidge, as Jo’s admirer, Professor Bhaer, was a departure from the opera’s otherwise oblique melodies. Both singers downplayed the music’s inherent corniness and delivered exquisitely controlled phrases.”
