OPERA SCENE REVIEW
“Talia Stern’s direction wisely kept the focus squarely on Anne’s voice […] it felt less like performance, more like overhearing a private confession. Brief though it was, it lingered long after the final note, a reminder that opera at its best does not always require scale, but truth.”
