News & Reviews
Chuck Lavazzi of KDHX
"...with a “modernist” score by J. E. Hernández and a linguistically complex libretto by Marianna Mott Newirth - Mechanisms was a work stuffed so full of ideas that it cried out for expansion beyond its 20 minutes. [So] the neurotypical world [has] room to be explored in more depth.
Steve Callahan of
Broadway World
"I’ve never seen an evening of opera that so toweringly rose above my expectations. The music was beautiful and varied, the stories moving, and the voices marvelous."
Chas Adams of Pop Life STL
“Mechanisms” provided a more intense (and intensely interior) experience – and one that...felt so complete. One of my favorite descriptions of a successful short story ending comes from David Means, who wrote, “A good ending doesn’t answer a question. It opens up the deeper mystery of the story itself. There isn’t room in a short story to do anything but leave the reader alone with the story.”
That’s how “Mechanisms” satisfyingly ended for me."
