"Characterful, winning singing."

"Andrew McIntosh converts Jameson into a trouser role for mezzo Jessica Mirshak; in a duet, with text by Sarah LaBrie, Mirshak’s voice blends beautifully with that of fellow mezzo Lauren Davis, as Lucha, their lines intertwining and hocketing in a musical depiction of a temporal web."

"In this opera, the middle feminine voice sometimes gets lost in the fray, but Jessica Mirshak definitely held her own on this stage and she made Meg Page a well-defined character."
