Reviews of NOT THE MESSIAH (HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY)

“Both the chorale and the orchestra, directed and conducted with bopping flair by Ted Sperling, got in on the fun — bickering, whistling, donning hard hats and sombreros.” – The New York Times “If his [Eric Idle] presence attracted some new faces to the packed Stern Auditorium, then the magnificent and committed performances by The Collegiate Chorale and Orchestra of St. Luke’s will certainly bring them back. “ – Opera News
