From Alison
Two years after filming The Knock for Glimmerglass Opera, our team finally had the opportunity to bring this beautiful opera to life at Cincinnati Opera. The cast and entire creative team were bowled over by the audience response to this equally intimate and epic opera from Aleksandra Vrebalov and Deborah Brevoort.
