Reviews

  • "My prediction is that those listeners with a taste for this genre will find themselves fully absorbed in short order. ...Frau Margot is an opera that certainly does justice to [Thomas Pasatieri's] reputation. Those operaphiles who have yet to explore Pasatieri's output are urged to start with this one."

    – Fanfare

  • "The plot is fascinating, the music easily accessible, the performance, especially Flanigan's, first-rate."
