…this issue should convince doubters of the merits of such a series.
Opera Now
This is an issue to delight… I look forward to more in the series

…one of the most formidable, vocally satisfying portrayals of the role of Tosca in years. The thrilling security with which she attacks one top note after another is a delight.
