Dido and Aeneas, Mercury Baroque, spring 2008




Die Zauberflöte, Tulsa Opera, spring 2008
"The clarity of what goes on in this production -- the way Mozart's music is played and sung, the manner in which director Tara Faircloth has staged the action, how the unamplified dialogue is easily heard -- is such that you almost have to remind yourself to look up at the captions. ... Faircloth, in her company debut as director, has made sure to keep the simplicity of the story paramount, and not let it get lost amid
the stagecraft and special effects." ---Tulsa World


Don Pasquale, Amarillo Opera, 2007

"Don Pasquale ranks as one of the funniest comic operas...Everyone was thoroughly entertained." ---Texas Monthly Magazine, July 2007

La Traviata, Amarillo Opera, 2006
"Amarillo Opera's long-awaited debut in the Globe New Center...finally offered the company a chance to show off its capability.  The result was thrilling, with some of the finest work the company has yet staged.  Traviata was a marvelous triumph for the opera." 
- Amarillo Globe News

“The most arresting ensemble of the evening proved to be the "Ice Cream Sextet" from Kurt Weill's STREET SCENE. Even with this young ensemble, under the direction of apprentice stage director Tara Faircloth, Mrs. Weill can rest in peace knowing that her husband's work is blooming at the War Memorial Opera House.” --Fog City Journal
