Guerilla Opera, Boston

clothes Adrienne Carlile, lights Chris Brusberg
world premiere
Mike Williams (percussion)


This feisty little company, performing
out of the tiny Zack Box theater at
Boston Conservatory, is nothing if not
adventurous. They do world premieres
with upper-echelon musicians, good
singers, and intriguing composers.
...
Julia Noulin-Mérat's set is one of the
most attractive Guerilla Opera has
come up with. The floor and side
walls are covered with wooden
panels. The back wall has a wide
opening through which you can see
the orchestra. On the stage is a set of
wooden crates, which the characters
keep moving around to create steps or
paths or pedestals.

THE BOSTON PHOENIX

Four instrumentalists complete the
musical team: all very fine with a
standout in percussionist Mike
Williams. His playing was evocative
and full of character, an effect aided
by designer Julia Noulin-Mérat’s set,
which opened up in the back to
reveal the instrumentalists. Director
Jeremy Bloom caught the mood and
brought the right sense of both dire
medieval times and twenty-first
century wit.
