"Rare opera a thundering treat"

"Toronto's ever-adventurous Opera in Concert brought Gluck's rarely heard final opera to the University of Toronto for a single performance on Sunday afternoon. The capacity crowd was beautifully behaved (no talking, humming, beating time, snoring, beeping watches or cell phones). Even a brief backward glance was the only admonition necessary to stop a woman from unwrapping candy during a quiet passage."

"What a joy. Results exceeded expectations, and I was grieved to learn that overhead microphones were taping the performance for archival purposes only and not for future radio broadcast."
