Hartford Courant is Mixed:
"The designers, the director-choreographer and the librettist-composer strive to put across the dark political ideas of the final play by the martyred Federico Garcia Lorca but fail to plumb the depths of the Spanish soul."
"Daniele, who previously staged "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" at Lincoln Center, reaches her strongest moments in her choreography in the mad galloping of a stomping mare, in the erotic solo of Nikki M. James, as Adela the youngest daughter. Otherwise, the production too often feels like a staged concert, rather than a penetrating portrait of a family that segregates itself from its fellow citizens, especially from the dangers posed by men."

"Driven by the stamped-out rhythms of flamenco music and feverish with smoldering songs of thwarted desire, "Bernarda Alba" remains true to the drama's origins and key themes. What's more, Lincoln Center Theater's premiere is a beautifully performed and staged production.
An immensely versatile writer-composer who fearlessly challenges both himself and audiences with serious works like "The Wild Party" and "See What I Wanna See," Michael John LaChiusa crafts "Bernarda Alba" as an enthralling, 90-minute study in seething, suppressed passions."
