... Stage director Nathan Troup,
whose inventive staging for L'enfant
(helped immeasurably by set designer
Julia Noulin- and lighting designer
Jeff Adelberg), having the furniture
and the animals literally come out of
the woodwork ...

...The two sets required for l’Enfant,
which was first on the program, were
imaginatively blended into one, with
some shifting and careful changes of
lighting. (The chorus, pushing hands
or heads through an assembly of
horizontal white tapes that made up
the walls, reminded me of a very mod
production of Wozzeck that I saw in
Basel in 1990; the idea really worked
here, as it didn’t there.) ...
Congratulations to Andrew Altenbach,
who conducted ably and steered
through the often risky balance
problems with skill. But
congratulations above all to
everyone, to the large team of
performers and production who
worked so well together to bring off
this complex event so fearlessly.
