“Brooke Clark Gibson was the glue that held the productions together, playing the female lead in both of the short operas. As Trouble in Tahiti’s Dinah, the unhappy suburban wife of ego-centric businessman Sam (sung powerfully by Brian Carter), Clark Gibson was alternately poignant at her psychiatrist’s office and breezy after spending an afternoon at the movies. With a totally different look in The Old Maid and the Thief, she was a comic dowager who goes wrong after meeting a handsome young beggar. … In April, TLO performed Aaron Copland’s three-act opera, The Tender Land, again featuring Gibson and her husband, bass Brandon Gibson. Is there any role that she can’t play?”
