Skiba, a pioneer in producing interdisciplinary collaborations in alternative venues 和 a proponent of new opera, added that the music was "written specifically for BW 声音的表现 students 和 produced entirely by an award-winning design 和 production team."

I was humbled by their willingness to participate in this endeavor 和 blown away by the achievement of all involved."
