Hopper's Wife

"Hopper's Wife: Not for the Faint of Art. Brave, bold and important."
Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times, June 16, 1997

"G-Rated Porn. The work attains something respectably close to excellence. Here's an American opera that does not stand as the latest feeble rewrite of either Puccini or Alban Berg, the notion that great opera is as beholden to the gods of entertainment as to high art. The staging, the transformation of absurdity into high art, has been an ongoing glory of the Long Beach Opera since its founding."
Alan Rich, L.A. Weekly, June 20, 1997
