Trascrizione degli articoli della stampa newyorchese riguardanti il al Met diretto da Bruno Amaducci tra l'ottobre e il dicembre del 1967. Archivio Bruno Amaducci.

The New-York Times, 6.10.1967, Allen Huges. “Merriment came to the with the return of Verdi's “Falstaff” after an absence of two seasons from the repertory. The lavish production designed by looked imposing on the stage at Lincoln Center, his direction filled it busily, and a strong cast was on hand to sing its way trough the effervescent score under the direction of a promising new conductor, Bruno Amaducci (...) Mr. Amaducci, the new conductor, managed very well to keep the music buoyant and flexible” (...) The level of singing during the evening was good and, because the acting was of a caliber to be taken seriously in general theater terms, the merriment of “Falstaff” was well served”. (first performance).

New-York Post, 16.10.1967, Harriett Johnson. “The new young conductor Bruno Amaducci led a bright, clear, well modulated Falstaff and contributed significantly to the afternoon's success”. (second performance).

Back Stage, 20.10.1967, Dr. E. Oppenheimer. “After 2 seasons the Metropolitan Opera Association brought back Verdi's delightful opera “Falstaff”. This time, however, it shines even brighter and sounds better. Franco Zeffirelli has designed and staged it with great beauty, flawless taste and very rich imagination. Add to this a new and most accomplished conductor, Bruno Amaducci, who in this reviewer's opinion some day will be ranked among the Toscaninis, Bruno Walters and Fausto Clevas”. (first performance).

The New-York Times, 25.10.1967, Theodore Strongin. “One of the consistently peak pleasures at the Metropolitan Opera is its production of “Falstaff”. The Verdi opera was given there last night for the fourth time this season. A seasoned cast headed by Anselmo Colzani in the title role again did full justice to the work, as did Bruno Amaducci, who conducted”. (fourth performance).

Variety, 20.12.1967, Robert J. Landry. “ (...) by coincidence the next day's matinée, a wonderful musical treat, Verdi's “Falstaff”, proved the case for everything being properly together. The essential discipline came from a 33-year1 old newcomer from Italy, Bruno Amaducci, on the stick, who elicited great delicacy and beauty from the Met orchestra and singers but in full rapport with the design and direction of Franco Zeffirelli (...) Falstaff was radio-broadcast by Texaco (...) Amaducci was quietly discovered in Europe by , who has now hired him for 10 “” performances next season2. He sizes up as a comer”. (tenth performance).

1 Il giornalista attribuisce erroneamente l'età di 33 anni a Bruno Amaducci che, in realtà, al momento della direzione del Falstaff al Met aveva 42 anni. 2 Il direttore artistico del Met, Rudolf Bing, deciderà inaspettatamente, nel dicembre del 1967, di venire meno al contratto firmato con Bruno Amaducci e di annullare le 10 rappresentazioni del Rigoletto previste per l'anno seguente.
