Teatro Nuovo’s biggest achievement may be in what it offers singers and audiences alike: making opera beautiful. As Verdi said, “Return to the old, and it will be progress.” Even as opera companies look to the future, beauty will always be essential.

- The New York Times (Arya Roshanian) 

[Teatro Nuovo’s] performing style guarantees that nothing is skated over, with the use of authentic period instruments (gut strings instead of metal, wooden woodwinds, and natural horns with no valves, etc.) and a historical orchestral layout of the musicians. This gives bel canto fans a rare opportunity to hear these ottocento beauties restored to their splendor and matched to the high technical standard they deserve.

- NJ Arts (Courtney Smith)

The soloists were well-supported in each of their arias and were enabled the space to shift the colors and shape the lines with flexibility. There was no brute forcing here and it was clear throughout the evening that a great deal of emphasis and attention was placed on allowing the music to breathe. Balance was excellent and the pacing was exemplary [...] a musically thrilling experience with top-tier singers.

- Operawire (David Salazar) 

This performance made it clearer than usual why Verdi said that “this Macbeth…I love in preference to my other operas.” It’s time for another “Bravo!” for Teatro Nuovo.

- Broadway World (Richard Sasanow) 

I found it a revelation; I love the 1865 Macbeth, but the 1847 is leaner, meaner and more to-the-point. [La Sonnambula] was a delightful afternoon [...] with musical details that were lovingly presented and everyone seeming deeply invested in the piece. [...] You got the sense, as with Macbeth, of a fully realized staged production rather than a semi-staged concert version.

- Parterre Box (Eli Jacobson) 

Teatro Nuovo offers more than a combination of meticulous preparation, authentic performance practice, idiomatic style, and dramatic intensity. It offers New Yorkers a unique opportunity to reconnect with the centuries-old grand tradition, now endangered, of opera as essentially vocal art. [...] The result is the most consistently satisfying live opera in New York. 

- Opera Today (Andrew Moravcsik)

Teatro Nuovo has positioned itself as one of the most revelatory opera companies of the 21st century. While other houses seek new audiences with theatrical productions or technological fusions, Teatro Nuovo steps firmly towards the past in order to re-invent the present of opera. Teatro Nuovo se posiciona como una de las compañías operísticas más reveladoras del siglo XXI. Así, mientras otras casas operísticas buscan nuevos públicos con montajes teatrales o fusiones electrónicas, Teatro Nuovo camina con firmeza al pasado para reinventar el presente de la ópera.
