"Gotham Chamber Opera sets a sexy example for the city’s scene"

Rebecca Milzoff  |  New York Magazine  |  Feb 12, 2009

"Everything chamber opera should be...musically and dramatically involving, imaginatively staged and arrestingly performed."

Joanne Sydney Lessner  |  Opera News

"Allen Moyer's set worked splendidly..the excellent orchestra, conducted by Neal Goren, added spice and interest."
