Reviews:
Composer Peter Salem’s beguiling music, performed by the Opera House Orchestra, included a mix of jazz, swing, mournful saxophone and unnerving piano notes that wafted like smoke and doom, all of which imbued the ballet with just the right off-kilter atmosphere.
This production would not be the same without the evocative, jazz-infused score and fascinating sound effects created by Peter Salem. …the music aptly reflected the wide-ranging moods of the story from happiness and optimism to unsettling fear and gloomy despair, adding an extra layer of emotional nuance to this brilliant piece of theatrical dance.
