"Such
home-grown magical music-making deserves
celebration, support and, most of all,
profound
gratitude."
(John
Zeugner, Worcester Telegram, 6/17/07)
"Great
cities are blessed with great cultural institutions.
Worcester Opera Works can now be added to that
group."
"...as tight and beautifully sung a presentation
(as) could have been found at the Met."
(Dan Sweeney, Worcester Telegram, 1/14/09)
"Professional aplomb, spot-on
singing... voices were first-rate, bell clear and
energetic...
wonderfully costumed"
(John
Zeugner, Worcester Telegram, 3/15/10)
"The outstanding
feature of this production was the singing.
The scales,
trills, and arpeggios... were handily executed...musically polished,
with fine intonation....
a boisterous, fun-filled affair, with
splendid singing by local talent."
(Joyce
Tamer, Worcester Telegram, 6/13/10)
