“…it offers tunes that range from the hand-clapping to the heart tugging…and the lovely voice of Amy Goldstein in the songs ‘Fort a Shlitn Oyfn Shney’ (‘A Sled Glides Through the Snow’) and ‘Shluf Mayn Kind’ (‘Sleep My Child’).”

Anchorage Daily News, Verdi Requiem

“Returning to Anchorage after her triumph here in Bellini’s La Sonnambula, New Yorker Amy Goldstein illustrated why wags refer to Verdi’s Requiem as his greatest opera. Her stage presence indicated deep reverence and humility. The sacred role’s dramatic force possessed her entirely by the concluding ‘Libera me, Domine.’ Her intensity brought Latin, that deceased language, back to life in this Mass for the departed. In duets with Weiler, this duo sang flawlessly…Afterward, some concert-goers expressed the opinion that this was the most exciting locally produced performance they had ever attended”.
