Chicago Cultural Center – Love For Three Oranges
“Among the singers, Tracy Wise, a Chicago Opera Theater vet, was a true acrobat, physically as well as vocally, as the court clown Truffaldino. Costumed like Harlequin, he missed not a note of Prokofiev's wide-leaping melodic lines, despite nonstop cavorting and juggling.”
-Wynne Delacoma, The Chicago Sun-Times, July 20, 2005
