Notes

The performances of October 8 and 12 were labeled as "Matinees for Senior Citizens and Disabled Patrons," and were performed in three acts.
Student matinees were likewise performed in three acts.

The program featured the following note:
These performances feature "supertitles," a new system of projecting
translations of the Italian text, adapted and executed by Francesca Zambello and Jerry Sherk.

The costumes for this production were made possible by a much-appreciated grant from the Callison Foundation.
