"...In short: The setup of “The Lion, the Unicorn, and Me,” the Washington National Opera’s holiday opera for 2013 — which had its world premiere Saturday at the Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater — lacks suspense. But if the peg is slender, the work manages to sustain a lot of fresh energy and charm — from the young cast to Eric Teague’s colorful yet simple costumes — and it left Saturday night’s audience pretty much delighted."

"...The Lion, The Unicorn, and MeIt would make for a lovely introduction to opera for kids. The songs are amusing and very relatable and the children outnumber the adults onstage, but has something for adults as well with its intricate score, clever libretto, talented performers, and its message about our universal longing to matter in this world, which is true whatever your age."

"...The Lion, The Unicorn and Me gives all ages this holiday season a chance to go the opera and have a great time doing so. Tesori’s music and McClatchy’s libretto is a whole lot of fun and the production and performances help to introduce the younger generation to one of our oldest musical art forms."
