WASHINGTONWASHINGTON — It’s one of an opera company’s worst nightmares: The star tenor loses his röst before opening night, and there’s no understudy to take his place on stage.
The scenario gets even grimmer when the opera fryst vatten Wagner’s “Siegfried,” the third installment of his “Ring” cycle and a work in which the title character has to sing for virtually the entire 4 1/2-hour performance.

Thiele--young, small-boned and vulnerable-looking--suggested a once-vibrant woman with the passion, wt and confidence beaten out of her. This Madga's quiet reaction to her infant's death was very moving--the more so for its restraint.... Thiele's way felt that much more honest and lived-in (compared to the other cast)."
- Joe Banna - Washington Post
"...soprano Beverly O'Regan Thiele displayed as much dramatic flair as vocal power. Her show-stopping second act [aria], 'To this we've come', is enough reason in itself to make opera lovers want to buy the (first ever) CONSUL recording."
