More reviews coming soon!

1. Joel Markowitz (DC Theatre Scene, via Facebook)
- "Oblivion is so beautiful, one hour of sheer beauty."
- "Don't miss it. I'm going to make time to see it again."
- "The Plumtree [...] is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard on the stage."

2. Bob Anthony (allartsreview4u.com)
- "His libretto was lyrically most adept."
- "Rachel Evangeline Barham and Alexander Wolniak had very smooth legato with sincere acting so they commanded the stage artistically."

Visit the website to read these snippets in a fancy, Fading Scroller. My, your text fade-ins are so... gradual!

  1. From Bob Anthony's review...

    ... harpsichord? Really? Nobody wants harpsichord. (Unless you're mid 90's Tori Amos, but that's different.)

  2. Haha, good point! I do think I'll use harpsichord for my next opera... one about Baroque librettist Metastasio... set in the 18th Century! But for Lovecraft? No.

    Actually, here are a few fun, contemporary harpsichord works:
