    Reviews

     

     

    “…musically solid and sung with vitality by a strong cast of principals... The end effect is a tightly woven package full of theatrical flair and bold lyricism.”                    

    – Kurt Loft, The Tampa Tribune

     

    “…a production that excites the audience to quite a frenzy… high energy levels and carefully executed technical excellence from all hands…”           

    – Virginia Page, The Bradenton Herald

     

    “With four excellent singers in the principal roles, it was a model of operatic art.”

    – John Fleming, Tampa Bay Times

     

    “…an admirable performance.”                                  

    – F. Warren O’Reilly, American Record Guide
