Wagner Tristan und Isolde, Dresden Opera Festival (2002)

” Countless ovations bravos and stormy ovations…The real star of the evening was the Dresden Staatskapelle, in a performance of urgent passion. Ira Levin conducted this performance at very short notice, replacing Semyon Bychkov, and did so without rehearsals. This speaks for his sovereignty and strong nerves. The performance expressly underlined his high artistic level. Bravo!!” (Jens Daniel Schubert in Sächsische Zeitung, March 10, 2002)

Schumann Scenes from Faust, Geneva (2018)

“From the very first measures, conductor Ira Levin offered an interpretation full of energy and passion, marked with a great sense of theater. The orchestra of the Suisse Romande responded perfectly to his intentions, with the silky and luminous sounds of it’s greatest nights.” (Claudio Poloni in Concerto Net, March 1, 2018)

Respighi La campana sommersa, New York City Opera (2017)

“The conductor, Ira Levin, drew out the lush orchestral colors and vivid evocations that course through the work.” (Anthony Tommasini in The New York Times, April 2, 2017)

Verdi Don Carlos, Teatro Colón (2015)

“This was just about the highlight of the the entire season, above all the performance of the orchestra, conducted with true authority by Ira Levin”. (Jorge Araoz Badi in La Nacion September 22, 2015)
