"Zane Pihlstrom’s spare set, Alixandra Englund’s elegant costumes and Scott Bolman’s lighting all contribute to the magic of this extraordinary piece, a paean to a woman whose indomitable spirit sings on, even in death." - By Marion Lignana Rosenberg, Time Out
Song from the Uproar is a visually and aurally ravishing chamber opera...Director Gia Forakis deserves the highest praise for her work. She and her team conceived and choreographed a stunning artwork of sight and sound." -Lauren Alfano, icareifyoulisten.com |
