From the Editor’s Desk
Ten members of the Music Critics Association of North America headed south in March 2014 to cover Sarasota Opera’s latest installment of its ongoing Verdi cycle. CVNA published an in-depth introduction, reviews of all the main events, and thought-provoking commentary on the importance of these offerings – and the music – in the overall scheme of things. Then, when our members returned home, some wrote additional columns on the mini-festival. We are pleased to provide links to all these articles here, in one convenient place.
