"Thoughtful depiction of the conflict and unusually imaginative, multimedia form... Mr. Frankel’s stunning animations, moving in rhythm with the music, are an equal storytelling element." —Heidi Waleson, Wall Street Journal "Audiences... will be dazzled by Tracy K. Smith's springloaded words zipping through the opera's sound world, redolent of Monk, Saariaho, and Glass. —Lev Bratishenko, Opera Canada
