Conductor Arthur Fagen expertly coordinated the singers and players in what is likely the most difficult score the Atlanta Opera Orchestra has ever attempted.

Conductor and music director Arthur Fagen manages the requirements of a complex score, keeping balance in check and holding the orchestra to a higher standard.[…] The Atlanta Opera orchestra also provides moments of loveliness as it does during the “Dance of the Seven Veils” in which oboist Diana Dunn plays a bewitching solo to accompany Amir Levy’s provocative troupe of dancers.

It is a splendid, remarkably powerful and insightful effort from Zvulun and his team of creatives, with excellent singing and convincing portrayals all around by the sizable cast, and a most compelling performance of the score by music director Arthur Fagen and the Atlanta Opera Orchestra, which brought its own reputation up another notch in this not-to-be missed production.
