Reviews
"Sankaram's score expertly converys the mood... tailors the music to fit the text, one modd segueing smoothly into another...Interstate is more a sad origin story than a lurid tale of murder. It's about the consequences of abandonment, of how a life on the road became one that went off the rails. The kind of life that doesn't find its way into opera, but now has, thanks to Minnesota Opera's powerful production." - Critic's Pick: Star Tribune 10 Best performances of 2021
