“We LOVED it! The song selections were wonderful - Some of my favorites along with many new songs this show introduced me to for the first time. The personal stories (John Riesen's baseball story was one of my favorites), the solo performances and duets, and of course the absolutely beautiful voices all created a beautiful journey through music and life that I would love to see again and recommend to anyone!”

“ENCHANTED I was as expected, yesterday August 2nd, at ARIA NOUVEAU CONCERT at The Lyceum Hall Center for the Arts! What an extremely memorable day this was for me. A day that is forever etched in my soul with songs from two of the most gifted and talented Opera singers - LAURA AUER and JOHN RIESEN!
The word ENCHANTED does not aptly describe my experience, for I was also mesmerized, captivated, and enthralled as I watched Laura Auer and John Riesen perform some of the most beautiful songs I ever heard! Not that I was hearing these songs for the first time, but it was the first time I was hearing these songs, a few of my favorites as well, sung by two of the MOST EUPHORIC, MELODIOUS, VIRTUOSO singers I ever had the pleasure of listening to. ANGELIC voices that took me to a place beyond this World! And songs sung with deep emotions of love and passion from two of the most warm hearted, friendly, most caring and beautiful souls! What an incredibly amazing audience it was! I now look forward to listening to more music by Laura and John as well as seeing them live in concert again!”
