" ...amusingly overripe ...the most engaging people in the opera"
"One of the funniest"
“Bass-baritone Thomas Hammons and mezzo Cindy Sadler made a well-matched pair as Dr. Bartolo and his former housekeeper, Marcellina — who apparently did more than just keep house for him. The scene in which they are revealed to be Figaro’s long-lost parents is one of the funniest in the opera.”
"Riotous... saucy mezzo"
“Equally riotous as Bartolo’s housekeeper/mistress Marcellina, was the saucy mezzo Cindy Sadler.”
"Priceless... a highlight"
“Dr. Bartolo (Paul Corona) and Marcellina (Cindy Sadler) are priceless as the conniving pair bent on getting Figaro. The farcical revelation is a highlight. All are strong in voice and show that Kentucky Opera does not scrimp on getting the best available talent in opera today.”
