"talent to burn..."-Fanfare
The 2023 recipient of the American Academy of Arts & Letters Charles Ives Opera Award ($50,000)with librettist Ginger Strand for their opera Artemisia
ARTEMISIA
an opera about Artemisia Gentileschi, fueled by passion, betrayal and art in 17th Century Italy
"The Genuine Article..onto the season's 'best list' it goes" -Boston Globe
"Artemisia” lasts just 80 minutes, but fits in big themes set to music of quivering intensity.
The story of the rape is there, blended with Gentileschi’s unbearably compassionate painting of the biblical character Susanna, who was ogled and shamed in her bath. But larger questions of idea and form, image and projection, sight and gaze also find nuanced and intelligent treatment." CORINNA da FONSECA-WOLLHEIM

SF Classical Voice
"Left Coast Chamber Ensemble Proves That Great Opera Needn’t Be Grand"
"Laura Schwendinger's Artemisia, on the other hand, is sumptuous on every level...Schwendinger’s score is striking. ..Tommaso’s aria, a breathtaking piece of worry and longing...Most memorably, the music underscores Artemisia’s deteriorating vision."
