CRITICAL ACCLAIM

THE NEW YORK TIMES

“One of the best parts of the Bard festival is the opportunity to hear artists again and again. The tenor Nicholas Phan had committed presence and rich tone in both Mavra and Balagan”

MUSICAL AMERICA

“Stravinsky’s 25-minute opéra bouffe Mavra (1921-22), was one of Botstein’s most successful performances…The impressive vocalists were soprano Anne-Carolyn Bird (Parasha), mezzo-sopranos MelisJaatinen (The Neighbor) and Ann McMahon Quintero (The Mother), and tenor Nicholas Phan (The Hussar).”
