Peter Josheff's Inferno




Peter Josheff's Inferno (libretto by Jamey Robles) -- quite impressive, compositionally, librettoly, stagecraftily (re lighting, set, and Harriet March Page's direction), with first-class dancers and pianistic fireworks, and a wow cast including Eliza O'Malley, Richard Mix, and a talented newcomer to the scene who has performed with John Kendall Bailey's Trinity Opera, among others.
