Performance Reviews

"Goren and his company have proved once again that old gifts in new packaging can be very desirable."

Robert Levine  |  ClassicsToday.com  |  Mar 18, 2013

"(The Gotham Chamber Opera) may have difficulty topping this season’s first show: Franco Cavalli’s 1677 opera Eliogabalo."

Paul Pelkonen  |  Superconductor  |  Mar 19, 2013

"By performing (Eliogabalo) in the Box, Gotham Chamber Opera is offering audiences an exhilarating demonstration of its mission. "

Anthony Tommasini  |  The New York Times  |  Mar 17, 2013
