‘Cutting edge’ theatre ...
With HPO Music Director Elizabeth Cordes as music director and pit keyboardist and HPO bass-baritone George Cordes in the title role of the “demon barber,” the summer 2011 production of Sweeney Todd with Pendragon Theatre in Saranac Lake and Lake Placid was a huge success! Here are some of the reviews:
|
“The powerful production will leave you with chills on the edge of your seat ... George Cordes, in the title roll, is impressive, never missing a note (and with) the voice of a booming bass ... (Elizabeth Cordes) does a great job leading the three-person pit band.” Adirondack Daily Enterprise
“Of special mention is George Cordes, who played the part of Sweeney Todd, turning in a powerful and witty performance, with a voice that rocked the house.” The Free George online magazine
