"Sellars had mezzo-soprano Kelley O'Connor cut her long hair short, a controversial move. But not only did it add to her vulnerability as Mary, it made her facial expressions stand out with astonishing vividness. With the help of James F. Ingalls; precise yet restrained lighting, which captured the smallest subtleties of expression, O'Conno reminded me of Renée Jeanne Falconetti in Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1928 silent film, "The Passion of Joan of Arc," one of the most affecting portrayals of human suffering in all art.."
