Reviews | Cipullo’s musical language, rooted in tonality with generous helpings of dissonance, is direct, succinct and original. His thorough understanding of the human voice allows him to create fully dimensional characters that are sympathetic and imminently believable… [a] finely wrought exploration of the role of art in times of grave crisis. …a compelling hour of musical theater. ...inventive, pitch-perfect, thought-provoking and refreshing. "Cipullo showed his creative versatility, writing strident, rhythmic music for Picasso, more chromatic and complex music for Stein and gentle, rather etheral music for the Girl. Mason's libretto was clear and to the point. The overall effect was one of thoughtful poignancy, never drifting into the maudlin or into abject moralizing." -Arlo McKinnon, Opera News |
