Critical Acclaim„It was a great experience to try something different and allow the audience to be part of the show. We all remarked afterwards how muchenjoyed the performance, and I am sure that the audience felt the same way.
-- Production Manger, Millennium Stage at the J.F. Kennedy Center after the the performance of „Hansel and Gretel"Ms.Tsuri is great! She knows everything about the day-to-day operations of opera. I'm certain that she'll become a key figure in theJapanese Opera world. I work on the music side and Anna creates opera on the stage side. She is an expert not only in directing, but also
in lighting, scenery, etc. She does magnificent work at the Vienna State Opera. I feel positively about her career."– Maestro Seiji Ozawa on NHK TV BS1 Interview at the documentary series “The First Japanese “ in March 2009.
“My Father (the Composer, Arnold Schoenberg) would have wished for this exact direction. It was very musical and the scenes are exactly
as according to the text, despite its very complicated content."– The Schoenberg family - private message after the performance of “Erwartung” in June 2008 in Vienna
