"Crystal Manich’s lively staging meshes pathos and bathos with quirky touches alluding to Poisson Rouge’s Greenwich Village neighborhood, and illuminates the link between Cavalli’s satire and the commedia dell’arte tradition." [-New York Times for Giasone]
Giasone, Opera Omnia 2011
"Crystal Manich's staging was charged with nuance."
"She managed to create visually impacting images...There was meticulous care in the atmosphere and details."
"The most striking aspect was the way Manich used lighting and stage manner."
