“The theatre is beautiful, and I would say that it is the finest venue for opera in the metropolitan area. It is smaller than our usual theatres in America; it is, in fact, redolent of a European opera house. I was highly impressed.”

Theater Critic, Brian Morgan, upon his first visit to the Jefferson Performing Arts Center
