Set Design: Laura Jellinek; Costumes: Melissa Schlachtmeyer, Production Manager: Joshua Scherr. Featured singers in this production include a leading international soprano, Patricia Johnson as Natalia Petrovna, a role originated by the legendary Patricia Neway, baritone David Trombley as Rakitin, Brittany Palmer as Vera, Christian Bowers as Belaev, Jeanne-Marie Lowell as Lisaveta, Julie Ziavras as Anna Semyonovna, Kirk Dougherty as Arkady and Steven Utzig as the Doctor.
