BWW Review: AZ Opera's RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE Is Epic
Herbert Paine reviews the World Premiere of Riders of the Purple Sage, praising the libretto, cast, plot, and especially the gorgeous southwestern scenery by Ed Mell.
"The magnificent magnified background paintings by Ed Mell, an artistic legend in his own right, capture the textures and topography of the Western landscape and give the work its epic feel."
