| On screen Wise Men are members of the police, but they are simultaneously recreated onstage by our gesturing countertenors (Daniel Bubeck singing eloquently as Balthazar). |

| Daniel Bubeck gave an impressive performance in the title role. His voice had an appealing, mezzo-ish darkness… it filled the hall with a vibrant sound, backed by elegant phrasing. |

| The highlight of the evening was Mr. Bubeck's realization of "Father in Heaven" from Judas Maccabaeus. Here, this young singer dazzled with purity of tone, and the unique setting within a temple added a level of poignancy. The crowd felt this, as well, and Mr. Bubeck was deservedly accorded the one curtain call of the night. |
