"...The Washington National Opera premiere of "The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs" at the Kennedy Center is the 10th staging of the project, which premiered at Santa Fe Opera in 2017. But it has a warm connection to D.C., since it's by Mason Bates, the first Kennedy Center composer in-residence from 2015 to 2020. Likewise librettist Mark Campbell was a founding mentor for the center's American Opera Initiative."

"...The classically trained composer Bates clearly signals his interest in popular music and specifically his experience as a dance music DJ. In the first ensemble number, the pulsing electronic beat all but transports to a club, while the words "One device has it all" convince us of the inevitability of the Apple Revolution to change the world. And so, with electronic sound used in conjunction with the full orchestra led by conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya, the opera is unapologetic about these opera singers being mic'd. Get over it, Opera Aficionados!"
