"If this were the best of all possible worlds, there would be Bronx Operas going strong in every neighborhood of the country, melding local folks and promising youngsters in deftly staged productions of the rare and the common, feeding the grand companies with new talent and helping opera itself to thrive. This is, however, New York, so we must be cheered by the mere existence of this little gem of a company."
