So Much More Than ‘Sleep No More’
On Site Opera’s immersive version of ‘Marriage of Figaro’ is on point

Eric Einhorn’s whirlwind staging included plenty of fine detail suitable for viewing at arm’s length

-The Observer, June 22, 2016

On Site Opera presents the ultimate in intimate productions by performing works in spaces that fit the setting of the story. The audience (inevitably small) follows the performers from room to room, along with a roving roster of instrumentalists. This delightful staging of Portugal’s “Figaro” takes place at 632 on Hudson, a beautifully renovated townhouse in the West Village, available for all manner of events. For this modern-dress staging by the imaginative director Eric Einhorn, the townhouse becomes Count Almaviva’s summer palace.

-The New York Times, June 15, 2016

While the work proved only a pale imitation of the Mozart’s masterpiece written some thirteen years earlier, Eric Einhorn’s marvelously detailed immersive production–performed with infectious sparkle by a superb cast–made it a worthwhile adventure.

-Parterre Box, June 17, 2016

Set on three floors of 632 on Hudson…this “Figaro” was a brave and innovative move by Mr. Einhorn’s group, which specializes in staging performances where no opera company has gone before.

-Superconductor, June 15, 2016

Stage Director Eric Einhorn has exquisite taste and judgment in each and every production, moving characters around the set and giving them stage business that is meaningful.
