Mass' is both dated and timeless, and this production, directed by Elkhanah Pulitzer and conducted by Louis Langrée, manages to embrace both of those qualities and make the show work.
— The Wall Street Journal, Heidi Waleson
This production, directed by Elkhanah Pulitzer...winningly emphasized theatricality and dramatic intention, while keeping musical values gratifyingly front and center...The piece is a grand, glorious, groundbreaking and enduring work of art with a unified and unifying vision that packs an enormous musical, emotional, and spiritual punch for anyone lucky enough to experience it.

The 10 Best Classical-Music Performances of 2018: "Even among aficionados of Leonard Bernstein, his rock-opera ritual from 1971 has a tendency to trigger eye-rolls, like the musical equivalent of hippie love beads. But the Mostly Mozart Festival’s convincing revival, conducted by Louis Langrée, with Nmon Ford as the Celebrant, culminated in a blissed-out finale, with recitations of “Lauda” tolling like a scattered choir of church bells and a reverent chorale.."
