Returned from Glimmerglass Opera and his production of DAS LIEBESVERBOT, some early reviews are in. James Sohre for OPERA TODAY writes: “Nicholas Muni directed with imagination, and generated excitement and dramatic interest from a routine distillation of a romantic triangle plot that does not have all that much to inspire…he moved the many large scenes around in a meaningful and efficient way, all the while instilling good character interaction. And a palpable sense of fun.” And Stephen Landesmann from the Ithica Journal: “The Glimmerglass production that opened last weekend is the first fully staged production in America, and was a hit. The altered re-setting in 1950s Italy by director Nicholas Muni and designer John Conklin was on the whole quite clever.”

Nic is preparing several upcoming projects, such as THE LOVE FOR THREE ORANGES, a re-mount of his THE TURN OF THE SCREW and POSTCARD FROM MORROCO.
