“simple, tasteful direction” - Parterre Box
"Ophelie Wolf's stage direction was inventive without [...} being invasive. [It} served to draw out the buoyancy and humor of the piece."
- Opera News, Rinaldo
"Ophelie Wolf’s simple, tasteful direction did effectively present the action and left her six singers to tackle their demanding arias with a minimum of the distracting stage business one often encounters in Handel productions."
- Parterre Box, Love, Sex, Magic
"It was one of the high points of the evening, occurring during Armida's Act II vengeance aria and, as cleverly directed by Ophelie Wolf, had the evil sorceress (singular soprano Jessica Niles) bursting with impatience as Mr. Dassa piled cadenza upon cadenza. She even lit up a cigarette (mock) which she shared with the musicians of Juilliard 415 in an hilarious show of boredom."
- Voce Di Meche Battle of the Sexes, Battle of the Faiths
"Stage director Ophelia Wolf gets the balance between drama and comedy just right as she creates a "Don Giovanni" that is first and foremost a highly entertaining opera. She lets justice prevail by bringing the curtain down on Giovanni's torment in the inferno and skipping the epilogue in which the problems of the other characters are resolved. Wolf's direction reflects the rising social awareness of the #metoo movement by emphasizing the independence of female characters over their complete dominance by the males. She frames the 332-year- old opera to present social issues that can raise questions and initiate conversations in 2019."
- Syracuse.com, Syracuse Opera proves karma is real with stunning interpretation of 'Don Giovanni'
"Conclusively a five-star debut fantasy read, that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, owing to its bewildering content, remarkable diction, and soothing narration."
