"...four dancers from the Nannette Brodie Dance Theatre - Javier Gonzalez, Alexis Loffer, Ishmael Murillo and Stephanie Maxim - provided an athletic and stirring vision of the ocean. That dancing included Cirque du Soleil-like use of a white sheet hanging from a walkway above the stage, and intermingling the singers with the dancers throughout the work. - John Farrell

"Nannette Brodie’s choreography was mesmerizing. The dancers moved smoothly across the stage while tossing the singers to and fro, as if they were singing in the waves or the currents of the ocean. It was a beautiful homage to both the strength and tranquility of the ocean." - Blog Contributor

Opera review: Philip Glass' 'Akhnaten' at Long Beach Opera at last
Los Angeles Times, March 20, 2011
A 3-D Spectacular - Philip Glass's "Akhnaten"
ConcertoNet.com - The Classical Music Network, March 20, 2011
"Long Beach Opera’s chorus is a major force in Akhnaten, bearing significant dominance and angular dynamism seen through the eyes of Nannette Brodie. Whether slightly changing silhouetted profiles or the more militaristic ballet march during the construction scene entitled “The City”, Ms. Brodie’s choreography abounds with abstract movements akin to the tempo set forth in the music." - Christie Grimstad

Opera West, March 20, 2011
"The choreographic aspects, often reminiscent of the sorts of figuration's seen on Egyptian monuments, were superbly executed by Nanette Brodie and the Nannette Brodie Dance Theater" - David Gregson
