“On the whole, this might have been the most disappointing evening I have experience at the Met Opera this season.”

“The entire ensemble worked together seamlessly to create an experience that I won't soon forget.”

“For the moment, we have his ‘Tristan und Isolde,’ which as he writes in his book, ‘might appear to be single-handedly responsible for deforestation’ but also engages ‘new ideas, new sounds, new visions’ that ‘create conditions for people to think differently.’”

“This is the first time this season that I'm itching to go back and re-experience it all over again.”

“Ultimately, despite my grievances with the conductor, the cast was top-notch. I would go so far as to say that it has been a while since I have seen this 'Bohème' production and felt that the individual artists were not only perfectly cast for the roles, but perfectly cast as an ensemble.”

“Art like ‘Adventures of Kavalier and Clay’ is what allows us to do so.”

“Taking on the character Nettie Fowler, a mother-figure of sorts to the emotionally unstable characters around her, Fleming scores an unquestionable success.”
