As Grammy voting opens up, please take a look at the praise for Paola Prestini's live recording of the Minnesota Opera World Premiere of her opera Edward Tulane. Praised by The New York Times as a composition which, "surfaces those messy emotions in music of candid vulnerability," the album captures a "vivid tableaux" of the original children's book "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane."
The live original cast recording of Paola Prestini's opera Edward Tulane is based on the novel The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by two-time Newbery Medalist and #1 New York Times best-selling author Kate DiCamillo with libretto by Mark Campbell.

Prestini surfaces those messy emotions in music of candid vulnerability
Prestini is a deft composer and surefooted dramatically... Touching, elegant music.
A fairy-tale opera with hidden depth... distinctive, with genuinely touching moments... a mystical atmosphere in which both lightness and darkness loom. Even when all seems right at the end and triangles jangle jubilantly, joy and dazzle are punctuated by a note of discord that seems to question the possibility of happiness ever after.
