PRODUCTION REVIEWS
"This year, my favorite fully staged opera was Intermezzo’s elegant low-budget version of Benjamin Britten's Curlew River." (CURLEW RIVER - Intermezzo Chamber Opera)
— Lloyd Schwartz (The Boston Phoenix)
"Young stage director Andrew Ryker blocked the action with hieratic simplicity, even managing to suggest the opera’s Japanese origins." (CURLEW RIVER - Intermezzo Chamber Opera)
— Lloyd Schwartz (The Boston Phoenix)
“Stage director Andrew Ryker kept the stage action flowing, and seasoned the lengthy, potentially static da capo arias with a number of gags and props, a la Peter Sellars. The audience got all the jokes, chuckling at just the right moments." (ALCINA - Boston Opera Collaborative)
— Ed Tapper (EDGE Boston)
"Andrew Ryker's clean, unobtrusive staging keeps the drama in focus." (THE INMAN DIARIES - Intermezzo Chamber Opera)
— Matthew Guerrieri (The Boston Globe)
"Andrew Ryker's direction, naturalistic and efficient, made the judicious most of the dramatic shifts." (A LAST GOODBYE - Intermezzo Chamber Opera)
— Matthew Guerrieri (The Boston Globe)
"Andrew Ryker's admirably direct staging updated the action to a post-World War II café in some imaginary offspring of France and Italy, and left ample opportunity for comic business...It was an appealing dessert, airy and sweet as a cream puff." (SIGNOR DELUSO - Intermezzo Chamber Opera)
— Ed Tapper (EDGE Boston)
