Director Brenda Nuckton brought Portland State University Opera our
first awards from the National Opera Association. Her productions tell
vivid stories with lively and clever characters. Observing her in an
educational and professional setting, I have found Ms. Nuckton to be a
supreme collaborator on the technical and artistic sides. Her
organization and rehearsal techniques were much appreciated, as was her
ability to teach young singers. She clearly has a true understanding of
the great art form OPERA!”
