New York Classical Review

"Wanderer nearly stole the show. The character of Leonardo is a key to the complex fantasy in the opera—he doesn’t merely want to return to the living, but to do so in the guise of Greta Garbo to visit someone enamored of the movie star. Wanderer managed a believable and wonderful androgyny, like a reflection of the unsettled beauty in the opera, and showed a voice that has an incredible contralto quality. At one point, the line requires him to dip into regular tenor voice, then back to countertenor, and it was a stunning moment of both technique and compositional and musical imagination." - George Grella
