Awards and reviews

July 2026

Catán's lavish neoromantic score draws heavily and with considerable technical skill on such forebears as Puccini (especially Turandot) and Ravel (Daphnis et Chloé), yet despite its undeniable sonic beauty it palls somewhat before the nevertheless gorgeous end.

July 2026

Summers takes a blended approach towards the orchestra, creating colour-saturated weather fronts of sound...Most great opera scores have powers of self-renewal. This one may have more than others.
