“To the rescue has come Teatro Grattacielo…Singing the challenging title role was Manon Feubel…her big, dusky voice has cutting power in its top range…A standout was Monica Yunus, a bright-voiced coloratura, in the role of Walter. Under Mr. Ajmone_Marsan, the orchestra gave an exuberant and colorful, if not always tidy, account of this teeming and admirable score.”

Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times

“…Teatro Grattacielo found a cast worthy of the occasion. Manon Feubel’s vibrant soprano and expressive generosity made her a most appealing Wally, Frank Porretta sang Hagenbach with welcome security, and Brian Davis’s strong baritone turned Gellner into a particularly dangerous rival.”

Peter G. Davis, New York Magazine

“…New Yorkers should be tipping their opera hats to Teatro Grattacielo for its noble part in keeping tradition alive.”
