More reviews coming soon!
1. Joel Markowitz (DC Theatre Scene, via Facebook)

- "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!
See you tonight!
From Bob Anthony's review...
ReplyDelete... harpsichord? Really? Nobody wants harpsichord. (Unless you're mid 90's Tori Amos, but that's different.)
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.
ReplyDeleteActually, here are a few fun, contemporary harpsichord works:
