“Jerome Shannon began the overture and the plaitive voice of Drew Slatton drifted through the darkness. Slatton's electrifying Turiddu has the urgency of a doomed, desperate man at the mercy of his own lust."
- Thomas B. Harrison, Mobile Register
"Tenor Drew Slatton's opening off-stage aria, 'O Lola bianca', was quite well done with a nice Italianate lyricism. He has a lyric tenor quality varying at times with a fuller, somewaht stentorian vocal production, and he showed a fine innate musicality."
- Robert S. Butler, The Fort Pierce Tribune
