LIFE CYCLE
"Life Cycle was touching, sometimes searing in its delicate exposure of the pain and loss that can surround child birth. It's often hard for us to talk about death in a way that also allows for a sense of reconciliation. Both the music and the libretto left the audience feeling they'd had an important shared experience."
