Death of a Little Girl with Doves

An operatic soliloquy based on the life of the French sculptor Camille Claudel (1864-1943).
“[A] deeply attractive and touching piece of writing which I recommend urgently for its imperious melodic confidence, fluent emotional command and yielding tenderness.”
– Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International
