ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
"We, too, enjoyed your presentation. The children were quite excited to learn of this genre of music. I was impressed by their interest and questions asked. You did a great job with them. We were pleased."Principal, Notre Dame des Victoires SchoolSan Francisco, California"As one recent attendee said, 'We thoroughly enjoyed Richard and Norma Mayer this week...My three teenaged daughters have always wanted to hear opera but we have never had the money for that luxery. I thank you and the City of Monterey for affording us such musical luxeries.'"

"...my kids LOVED YOUR GROUP!!! They were SO COMPLEMENTARY of your presentation! Their comments were: "Wow, Mrs. H, those guys were so cool!" and "Why don't we have those kinds of visitors more often?" and "Let's sing opera!" , etc. One of the students said he got to be the "thief" and the others also said they all participated. My kids were raving about your presentation...thank you and your group SO VERY MUCH for coming. And thank you for getting my kids excited about opera. You must be magic!"

Dear Norma and Richard, My students were hoping that you would come back every time class met...they enjoyed your presentation so much! You were able to reach an audience that had never experienced opera before in such a delightful way! Thanks so much! I am writing to the Cultural Arts Council and passing along kudos!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Miranda, Music Instructor of Students at Highland and King Schools, Seaside, CA
Thank you so much for coming and performing for the students at Marina High. It gave them exposure to an art form that they might otherwise never have been exposed to. Pulling the students in and having them participate in the music was wonderful, it really helped some of the cast of our musical start adjusting to acting in front of other people. The students were blown away by Norma's voice, as was I. The question and answer period at the end gave some great advice to the students...
Jennifer Parker, Director of Music, Marina High School
Thank you for the many years you came to Colton and worked with my Drama students and me... Your program is extremely valuable to students, and I would love for you to continue offering it to Colton... It was always a pleasure having you come and my students all loved participating in your mini-operas...
Sincerely, Vickie Lucido, Colton Middle School
