I felt the real star, though, was Donnie Ray Albert as Amonasro, Aida’s father. He brought to the role not only his powerful baritone, but a tangible expression of emotion through the voice –— genuine singing-acting — and it was noticeable that Angela Brown was at her most effective when playing against this deeply-felt portrayal.
