World Premiere: Zenobia Powell Perry's 'TAWAWA HOUSE' presented May 2, 2014 by Townsend Opera, Modesto, California
On May 6, 2014 New Music Buff reviewed the Townsend Opera production:
[Excerpt]
It is difficult to say where this work will take its place in musical
history but it certainly deserves to be revived. I hope that the
success of this production will encourage adventurous opera companies
such as Townsend to seek out other neglected works in that deserve
revival and, in many cases, first performances.
Despite some minor weaknesses the performance was very professionally
executed, full of joy and clearly pleased the audience. After all
theater goers are accustomed to the sometimes silly plots common to a
lot of operas and musicals but they are seeking entertainment by
talented performers and that is definitely what they got. This was a
wonderful production which now puts Townsend opera on my radar. Looking
forward to more from this company. Congratulations on a great show!

Jeannie Poole has been dedicated researcher of Zenobia Perry for many years. I purchased my only recording of music composed by Zenobia Perry at an event organized by Jeannie. I was particularly attracted to "Homage To William Levi Dawson On His 90th Birthday". Dawson was an acquaintance. [John Malveaux www.MusicUNTOLD.com]
