Opera Going Toronto said
'Taken together as a single 90-minute encounter, the two pieces, The Telephone and La Voix Humaine, make for vibrant programming.'
'recorded ... with no audio overdubs and minimal video post production, Toronto City Opera’s Menotti/Poulenc diptych represents something of a pioneering milestone — music theatre staged for camera and mic recorded as legitimate live event.'
'A refreshing viewing experience well worth catching as opera continues to move forward in its crisis-driven evolution from theatre stage to digital platform.'
