The Secret Diary of Nora Plain in New York

Op 29 april speelden we The Secret Diary of Nora Plain in National Sawdust in New York!
De pers was lovend:

Jennifer Pyron in OperaWire (VS)

“As singer Nora Fischer masterfully told her stories with a crisp and coherent line of text, her vocal tone illuminated each phrase and gave life to her character.”

“The Ragazze Quartet, an all-female string quartet from Amsterdam, played with fervor and heart.  They showcased true mastery during their dynamic sweeps and mysterious twists.”

“Remco Menting played the drums with precision and passion.”

“It was jaw-dropping, raw, and phenomenal to watch and hear everything unfold between all of the musicians in this moment.”

Delarue in Lucid Culture (VS)

“A Shatteringly Relevant New Suite Casts a Cold Eye on Surveillance State Terror:

“Fischer is force of nature. At her quietest, she brought a plaintive, sometimes prayerful quality to the narrative; at her loudest, she belted with a gale-force wail worthy of Aretha. Likewise, the quintet of musicians began with an atmospheric whisper and rose in a series of waves, through as many different styles as a string quartet augmented by a drummer with a full kit plus vibraphone could possibly play.”

“Anyone concerned with the perilous state of civil liberties should see this hauntingly enigmatic, rivetingly disturbing, potently relevant work.”
