“Musical director Gianmaria Griglio achieved fine detailing from the International Opera Theater Chamber Orchestra, which sounded twice the size at any given moment.”
Lewis Whittington, EDGE PHILADELPHIA, 2010
“There is no question about Gianmaria Griglio's conducting abilities. He has an exceptionally clear baton technique that allows him to art to articulate whatever decisions he has made about the music. He comes prepared and does not waste time. Therefore musicians play for him. His performances are assured and convincing with a fine sense of the Italian musical line, and like many great Italian maestros before him, he has an elegant musical style.”
Harold Farberman
