Così fan tutte at Commonwealth Opera
"...[Summer's production of] Cosi fan tutte can only be described as brilliant...there was much more developed acting than in most productions of this work...it was up-to-date, but tasteful...very modern and very natural... each [character] was individualized; none were treated as stock characters or stereotypes...
(Praise for Ms. Summer's surtitle translation)"clever, witty, hip...sexy...[the translation] seemed as natural as the sense of the original, and fit the music well, the set and production to a T."
Classical Voice of New England
"...Eve [brings] her considerable skills in deft spoken-theater direction to the world of opera... this production was amazing... brilliantly staged, beautifully sung and acted, touching, intimate, and hilarious."
