Press
“The show effectively communicates the exhilaration of
intellectual discovery.... The power of Foley´s
score.... the melodic urgency, rhythmic variety, harmonic
invention and orchestral sophistication of his music compel the
attention.... Phrases resonate in the memory: ‘Wheel in the engine,’
‘I will breathe no word of this,’ ‘Symbol and sign.’ In a program
note, Foley acknowledges a range of influences from Sufi plainsong
to the rock band U2, yet what he has made of them is something
uniquely his own.” — The Philadelphia Inquirer
“From the time the overture began until the final note was played,
the reviewer was riveted by a story of good and evil, ignorance
and arrogance, of frustration and triumph compellingly told.... The
Hidden Sky is different, provocative, a tad unusual, but musical
theater to be thoroughly enjoyed.” —The Daily
Pennsylvanian
