"As his girlfriend Santuzza, Scott sang and suffered heroically."
Elizabeth Futral as Nedda in Pagliacci with San Diego Opera.
"As his wife, Nedda, Futral displayed her abilities as a superlative singing actress. She trilled in tribute to birds, snarled at the lecherous Tonio (the fine Bruno Caproni), embraced her lover (portrayed as a testosterone-flavored smoothie by Scott Hendricks) and flirted with the troupe's Harlequin (sweet-voiced Simeon Esper) until the show-within-a-show turned tragic."
