Listen to What the Critics Have to Say about
The Village Light Opera Group!!

"This group is special. They perform to a standard not often reached by the pros!"
Applause--New York's Guide to the Performing Arts (1991)


"VLOG members are the most enterprising around. They present two shows a year at the Fashion Institute of Technology, usually one Gilbert and Sullivan and one American musical or light opera. Members handle every aspect of the performances, from sets and costumes and marketing and ticket sales to the actual singing and dancing......The shows are delightful, the singing excellent, and what's sometimes lacking in polish is made up for in enthusiasm."
The New York Book of Music (1995) by Ira Rosenblum


"How does VLOG do "The Gondoliers"? Very well indeed, thank you."
The Gondoliers, The New York Daily News, November 1992

"Its luxurious performance ... under Ronald W. Noll's [musical] direction proved it to be in a class with such Viennese products as Lehar's Merry Widow and Strauss' Die Fledermaus."
Countess Maritza, Backstage, June 1992

"For a nonprofessional music theater organization, the Village Light Opera Group has built a considerable reputation for its lively revivals of classic musicals."
Carousel, The New York Times, April 1991

"The big audience favorites were the juvenile leads....and the bulk of the huge supporting cast, plus the chorus and dancers, were first-rate."
Kismet, The New York Daily News, April 1990

"HMS Pinafore became Dames at Sea and anything went."
USS Pinafore, The New York Daily News, December 1989

The Most Happy Fella, The New York Daily News, April 1989

"Solidly crafted and enthusiastically performed....their choral work....is exemplary in its rousing force and clarity."
Oklahoma!, The New York Times, April 1988
