The Philadelphia CityPaper wrote of this production,
"The musicians of Tempesta di Mare brought the nearly 300-year-old
score to life with a zest and virtuosity that transcended issues
of style and instrumentation. At the close of this performance,
there was that sublime sensation of the suspension of time that
great theater can convey” Click
