"FAIRY TALES MAKES A BOLD AND POWERFUL IMPACT IN WORLD PREMIERE"

 

"High marks to director Jeffrey Marc Buchman (whose riveting staging of Andy Vores’ No Exit for Florida Grand Opera was a highlight of the season). Buchman’s production never flagged in momentum, with the protagonists’ turmoil conveyed in strong dramatic strokes. Stunning projections of geometric images and the heroine’s notebooks by Alain Lores, Jorge E. Lega and Barbara Gutierrez were eye-filling additions to Sean McClelland’s handsome set.  In a season that has seen more twentieth- and twenty-first century opera in South Florida than in the last two decades combined, Kievman’s opus is a stunner. It deserves wider performances beyond the current Miami Beach run."
