Rod Gilfry’s Don Alfonso is as mischievous as he is commanding. Somehow, he seems just the singer to complete the trio “Soave sia il vento”— which, performed in stillness with a transfixing projection of water overlaid on the stage serves as a highlight of the evening— and then the right man to spy on the lovesick couples from behind a potted plant.

Rod Gilfry, the Alfonso, reprised his 2023 Dallas role with a polished and witty performance.
