South Florida Classical Review of “Scrapbookers”
The South Florida Classical Review reported on the Frost Opera Theater’s March 5-6, 2021 performances of SCRAPBOOKERS:
“Leanna Kirchoff called her two-character vignette Scrapbookers a “micro-operetta.” A simple tale of two sisters getting together to put together a scrapbook for their parents’ wedding anniversary, Kirchoff’s unpretentious vocal writing suggests both the rapid energy of minimalism and Americana nostalgia. As Carol, the scrapbook pro, Mia Flora’s light soprano flowed in prime operetta fashion. Emily Finke as the reluctant Nicole brought a rich color palette to a remembrance of Christmas past. Pianist Olga Konovalova was alternately elegant and propulsive in the rapid-fire keyboard writing.”
