“Alexis Reed, astonishing as Mrs. X.E. in last year’s production of Angel’s Bone, once again demonstrated her gift for acting as Ma Zegner, soaring vocally even in this less prominent role. [She] sang with grace and technical polish. Reed’s every gesture and sound was a manifestation of a mother’s grief.”

“The singer who played the wife, Alexis Reed, was unflinchingly in command and conveyed her newly discovered power over the two angels with terrifying and compelling bravado.”

“Fiordiligi (Alexis Reed) and Dorabella (Gabriela Linares) launched […] several mellifluous duets.”

“Musically, the coordination of singers and instrumentalists was laser-sharp, especially in passages where Mozart requires singers and orchestra to join in complicated melismas.”

“Reed pulled off the difficult feat of making Mrs. X.E. human, even recognizable, while also refusing to let a glimmer of empathy to slip through. Singing with dramatic conviction and gorgeous tone, she made her character feel plausible.”

“[The director] filled out the strong cast with young professionals, including [...] Alexis Reed (who outdid herself in the final act as Annina).”
