LOUISA MULLER

The Ghosts of Versailles

Wolf Trap Opera, 2015

New production

​

"It is a dazzling thing all around.…The opportunity to hear a modern work of this stature comes along all too rarely, a production of this quality still rarer." Washington Post

​

"The large contingent of vibrant singer-actors…burrowed into the plot's criss-crossed layers with great flair under the astute guidance of the director Louisa Muller." Opera

​

"Chances are that Wolf Trap Opera will be using its production of John Corigliano's The Ghosts of Versailles as a touchstone for a long time to come. The venture was satisfying on every level.…The complex layers…inspired deftly detailed stage direction from Louisa Muller, who kept the action fresh and involving." Opera News
