Working with acclaimed Artistic Director of the Cincinnati Opera, Nic Muni, I was asked to create large-scale video pieces
to be projected during this high-tech production.

“…a startlingly innovative double bill. Muni chose to shift the Ullmann out of its historical context to a more modern world, suggesting the not-too-distant future. This was music theater of a very high order, challenging but unfailingly dramatic…a provocative staging of a very risky pairing.”
