Mr. DeMaris's skillful phrasing supported the singers and quite miraculously he managed to conquer the dry acoustics of the black box theater.” - Theaterscene.net “Even on the strictly musical level, the tiny orchestra (under the baton of Brian DeMaris) may reveal details of Puccini's score less audible to listeners in an opera house.” - C-Ville “The singers in the production form a tight ensemble under the meticulous musical direction of Brian DeMaris” - The Ithacan |
