“I was at the Royal Academy of Music this morning and heard what I assume to be the cream of the young singers in the Opera Department’s program. They were very good indeed. They have a number of really great voice teachers there... and Jane Glover is of course the Director of Opera... It is so good to see a famous department like this in such superb hands in the 21st century.”
Brian Dickie, General Director of Chicago Opera Theater
