The part of the lover of Jephtha's daughter was played by Randall Wong, who has mastered the art of singing falsetto over a two octave range. My question is this: he didn't appear to have much volume or oomph to his singing. Is this peculiar to him, or because of singing falsetto, or is it the way the part is supposed to be sung?
