    “Highly satisfying, often thrilling production … Sarasota’s 30th Verdi staging is a winner, one for which the company can justifiably be proud.”
    —Roy C. Dicks, Classical Voice North America

     

    “A small company in a small city is showing a way to the future by believing in the past.”
    —William Littler, Toronto Star

     

    “Sarasota Opera brings power and pageantry to Verdi’s Jerusalem passionately sung and acted on opening night.”
