The Globe and Mail — April 30, 2005.   “In an inspired move, the National Arts Centre kicked off its Alberta Scene festival with a remount of Filumena by composer John Estacio and librettist John Murrell…. Judging from the cheers that began after the first act and became a deafening roar following the finale, Filumena’s Ottawa success is another jewel in its crown. If ever a contemporary opera deserved a shelf life, Filumena is the one.”
