    Reviews

     

     

    “DeRenzi, one of our finest Verdi conductors … ”

    —Lawrence Johnson, Sun-Sentinel

     

    “The production expresses what this repertory company does best. The package includes strong principal singers, lavish sets and costumes, a sharp chorus and choreography, and a resilient pit orchestra under the baton of music director Victor DeRenzi.”
    —Kurt Loft, Tampa Tribune

     

    “Maestro Victor DeRenzi led the performance with a sure hand, shaping Verdi’s score with love and underlining the drama with vigor, precision, and an excellent sense of balance.”
    —John Koopman, L’Opera (Milan, Italy)
