“You might suspect that somewhere hidden away is a portrait of Gilfry that’s aging. Because on Friday, the 6-foot-3 baritone with the square-jaw Gary Cooper looks seemed as filled with youthful energy as he had been when he ambled on stage as Curly in LA Opera’s 1990 production of Oklahoma! …the most important aspect of the evening was Gilfry’s ability “sell a song” using his flexible baritone that can deliver deep resonant low notes then float up to a surprisingly high pianissimo. …it was Gilfry’s all-out rendition of Sondheim’s “Being Alive” (from Company) that brought down the house.”
