Tony Howell & Co. February 26, 2018 Carmen "Wonderful, dynamic stage director" Tony Howell & Co. February 26, 2018 Carmen “Cindy Sadler is a wonderful, dynamic stage director. While working on Carmen together, Cindy was able to help me rework my arias, which really helped me dig into my characterization. Cindy gives a space in rehearsal where the artists don’t feel ‘blocked’, but can explore and dig as far as they can while helping give direction and focus to their presentations, and to the whole production as a whole.” — Nicholas Simpson, tenor
