| Former Adler Lucas Meachem was convincing as both Frank and Fritz, his acting strong and his volume good. He sang "Mein Sehnen, mein W�hnen" splendidly and without strain./ Tattler |
| The role of Frank/Fritz was eloquently colored by Lucas Meachem's richly resonant baritone, while the outstanding supporting cast.../ Insidebay
The best vocal contributions came in the smaller roles, particularly from baritone Lucas Meachem, who gave a star-making turn in the dual role of Frank and Fritz. As the latter character, he sang the opera's other set piece, "Pierrot's Dance Song" in Act 2, with voluptuous sound and an utterly charismatic stage presence./ SFGate |
| ...Balancing these two powerhouses, the towering former Adler Fellow baritone Lucas Meachem (Frank, Fritz) brought Thomas Hampson�like plushness and empathetic tone to his role. His effusively romantic �Mein Sehnen, mein W�hnen� (My yearning, my dreaming), one of the few places where the conductor tempered the volume enough to allow the true beauty of Meachem�s instrument to shine through, was a highpoint. Although he has beefed up since his Schwabacher recital last February, he still cuts a winning figure onstage, enough so that you may wonder if it�s a stand-in who�s doing that bare-chested dancing. / SFCV |
