“A new production of the opera this month by the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia is more effective than all that I’ve seen before, due to the unusual direction by R. B. Schlather.”

“Schlather devises an arena for potent physical theater that facilitates a more kinetic, evocative and less literal adaptation.”
