Paul Horsley, classical music critic for the Kansas City Star (May 20, 2006):

"One of my picks for "Best of 2005" in local classical and dance was the Puccini Festival's performance of Turandot, with Elizabeth Bennett in the title role and 200 singers and instrumentalists. It had fire and guts and made a lot of noise. The amazing thing about the Puccini Festival is that no one is paid: It's all volunteer. Moreover, the performances are free..."
