      This performance was a most happy experience. Having been appalled by the MET Luc Bondy updating, I was so glad to see that the work's theatrical integrity was treated with all due respect by Scott Brumit. The Longwood performance was beautifully sung by all; I especially enjoyed the visceral and primal accounts by Jennifer Hoffmann, Christopher Smith and Rick Mahoney. Longwood's Music Director and Pianist, Jeffrey Brody, managed to conjure up a full-sized Puccini orchestra despite the limitations of the upright piano. The staging dealt with the essentials in a most practical manner. At the end I realized that fidelity to the sprit and letter of the score, as provided by Longwood Opera,makes for an extremely satisfying and moving evening. I have seen many of their productions in recent seasons and am extremely impressed with the high caliber of singing, staging and accompaniment. This is a company whose every effort needs to be supported and appreciated. Best one to date!! Collapse

      Longwood Opera's "Tosca" is fabulous! The caliber of singing is at the professional level; diction, acting, staging,singing...all top drawer. Great to hear these young singers in local venues before they hit the Met! Thank you, Longwood for a memorable afternoon. Collapse
