“Canio is a deeply flawed and insecure person. Under his public persona is growing insecurity, to the point where he just collapses. But he's a businessman and he does what he needs to do when he performs. He thinks, I've got to transform my tears and pain into jokes and smiling because that's what I do.”
“It's great to see an opera company in Spokane. It's essential to have an opera, and I'd like to see it succeed and grow. There's a lot an opera can bring to the community, bringing great classical works to the stage.” — Gregory Carroll, as "Canio"
“Nedda wants to escape from the life of a traveling performer. She's not in love with her husband. He's a raving, jealous man. She's miserable. She sees Silvio, whom she is in love with and attracted to, as a means of escape.”
“It's a story of true life feeling and emotion. The audience will relate, in some way, to each of these characters, and that's what makes the ending so tragic.” — Heather Parker, as "Nedda"
