The critics weigh in:

"...brilliantly absorbing...
...one of the finest casts in town...
If OPUS were a musical score, Southern Rep has opened its 23rd season with a work that can only be marked as "brilliante."
~ The Times-Picayune

"...authentic and engaging performances...
OPUS is a fascinating start to Southern Rep's season."
~ Gambit Weekly

OPUS Stars Drew Battles, Bob Edes, Jr, Vatican Lokey, John Neisler, Shauna Rappold with James Faerron Scenic, Diane Bass Lighting, Kelly James-Penot Costumes, Mike Singleton Sound, Sarah Z. Singleton Production Stage Manager, and Liz Maxwell Assistant Director. Violinist turned playwright, Michael Hollinger, creates a witty and telling portrait of a high-caliber yet high-strung string quartet. OPUS explores power and glory, loyalty and madness... and what a girl's gotta do to play with the big boys. Mark Routhier, director of last season's sell-out hit THE SEAFARER, helms this masterful piece.
