SOME NEWSPAPER QUOTATIONS

            “……The National Arts Centre orchestra, rehearsed and conducted by Theodore Gargiulo, who is obviously a thorough professional, met the musical and technical challenges ably. Gargiulo succeeded in preparing the performance last night with only a few hours of rehearsal and without a complete run-through of the score with the film. That’s nerve, guts and the kind of authority one finds too rarely today ……..”

                                                                                             The Citizen, Ottawa

            “ …….Theodore Gargiulo  made a thoroughly solid effect, pointing the scenes of Verdi’s waltz drama with measured skill, moving them at a fine pace, and underling the entire work, from both chorus  and orchestra, with a stirring rhythmic pulse ……”

                                                                                                Paul Hume, Wash D.C.

            “ …… Conductor Theodore Gargiulo deserves much of the credit for many successful moments last night ….. his control was masterful indeed…….”

                                                                        The Evening Star, Wash D. C.

            “ ……. Theodore Gargiulo was the excellent conductor of the orchestra, a choral ensemble of 45 mixed voices and a cast of considerable strength. Under his baton the opera moved with purpose and resourcefulness …….”

                                                                                    The Cleveland Plain Dealer
