I was at Disney Hall for Eric Whitacre’s “Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings”. It's clear that Whitacre can compose fine choral work, but when it came to music for soloists, I didn't hear one hit song the entire evening, even one that sounded like the opening of Jean Valjean's "Bring him home" in "Les Miserables." I'm sure mine is the minority opinion. Most of the audience seemed to eat it up.Written on Jun 27 2011

Quotes & Highlights
- “Whitacre is that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original.” --Daily Telegraph, London
- "A cast of bright theatrical singers played their roles winningly; Hila Plitmann, a crystalline-voiced soprano and Mr. Whitacre’s wife, stood out as Exstasis." --The New York Times
- "Plitmann has a vocal instrument that is simply unreal in its beauty, a high lyrical soprano that cuts through Whitacre’s electronic augmentation like a knife." --Entertainment Today
Description
Paradise Lost is a work of music theater with book by poet Edward Esch, music by Eric Whitacre, and lyrics by director David Noroña and Whitacre.
The story follows the last remaining tribe of angels, marooned in a post-apocalyptic Paradise as children, who now grown into young adulthood. Within their fortress they have created a militant, martial society, always training for the next attack, always afraid. One angel, Exstasis (Grammy Award-winning soprano and Tae Kwon Do black belt Hila Plitmann), remains untouched by the brutal world in which she lives and dreams only of flying.
