"...such a fine actress... rich low mezzo is penetrating and her contribution to the quintet is especially pronounced"

It is rare when a performance has only rock solid lead performances. The Old Baroness is a small role vocally yet she has a lot of stage time in which her temperament remains one of quiet disgust. Yet Cindy Sadler is such a fine actress that there are moments when this mean old woman becomes almost vulnerable. Sadler’s rich low mezzo is penetrating and her contribution to the quintet is especially pronounced.
