Nabucco Reviews
Broadway World- Recommended
"...Director Strassberger told his story in a straight forward dramatic manner. His scenery was both beautifully painted and functional. The very front of the stage held a delightful flower arrangement and a structure with baroque markings that hid the prompter's box. Mattie Ullrich's costumes were attractive and set the artists firmly in their time frames. Having actors as faux a 19th century audience allowed the singers to play to them occasionally, which amused the actual audience."

"...A welcome change from the old warhorses , Verdi's NABUCCO has made a triumphant return to L.A.'s Music Center. Some of us sat through so many Traviatas, we feel like breaking into "Libiaahhhmo, libiamo" every time we have a drink. Nabucco is an early Verdi melodious masterpiece, all too rarely performed. And where are Ernani, Sicilian Vespers, Giovanna D'Arco and I Lombardi?"
