“Hansel & Gretel - Dallas Opera
But it was lovely to see such good use made of the stage as was made by this production, and it’s no wonder that the creative team included a “movement director” in Austin Spangler.”
“Tosca - Opera North
I have rarely seen the vicious, volatile Act II confrontation done with more raw venom, right down to a stabbing so brutal you gasp with shock.”
