The Demon

Commonwealth Lyric Theater

Newton, MA

“Musically, the production was first-rate. Conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya dynamically led her reduced orchestral forces. And the choruses, both male and female, sang with the rigor for which Russian choruses are noted.”

–David Bonetti, Berkshire Fine Arts

“The superb Russian-born Lidiya Yankovskaya conducts.”

–Lloyd Schwartz, WBUR
