What our audience is telling us:
"I've attended your operas for years. This La
Traviata was probably your best performance. It
was magnificent! And I thought you have to know it.
The voices were beautiful and they were acting also.
Visually it was a feast for the eye.
So thank you so much. This could be your very, very
best. We enjoyed it immensely."
"Thanks for another
great production! During the intermission my friends
and I had a long chat about down-town opera prices,
restaurant prices, parking-lot prices and parking hassles,
as well as the undependability of "professional"
performing and directorial talent - and agreed that
Longwood Opera in the 'burbs is the way to enjoy a night
at the opera!"
