DIRECTOR & CAST“Didi Balle, who co-created the show with BSO music director Marin Alsop, wrote a colorful script that managed to impart a lot of information without ever getting talky, and she directed the action with a fine sense of pacing." _ Baltimore Sun"Balle cast two accomplished, sensitive actors in the key roles: Tony Tsendeas as Freud, and Richard Pilcher as Mahler. The two men conjured up three-dimensional characters in a flash.” _ Baltimore Sun
