Folks Operetta 2022
“concert-style production directed by Elizabeth Margolius, were a dozen superb singer/actors and an impressive young orchestra led by the impeccable conductor, Anthony Barrese (artistic director of Opera Southwest). Together they captured the lushly romantic, character-driven Korngold score that was sung in German (and bits of French), with English supertitles unspooling over a back wall animated by the colorful projection design of Rasean Davonte Johnson” Hedy Weiss WTTW News
“Rasean Davonte Johnson’s well-chosen projections opened up the Logan Center, with enlarged photos of a French cinema, war-torn buildings, and falling snow setting the scenes as needed. Charles Cooper’s evocative lighting highlighted the action nicely as well” Lawerence A. Johnson Chicago Classical Review
