“The cast was too uneven to put the Skylight Opera Theatre's 'Abduction from the Seraglio' in the top ranks of 2004. But director Jon Kretzu's smart concept (1940s movie comedy-thriller) led to fine acting, a nifty design and gorgeous costumes. 'Abduction' also launched a break-out performance by soprano Kathy Pyeatt, as Constanza. She was also strong in a comprimaria role in the Florentine's 'Il Trovatore.' Suddenly, Pyeatt is Milwaukee's most exciting opera singer, and the easy choice for Vocalist of the Year.” Tom Strini, Milwaukee Journal Sentinal
