"Erling Wold has scored surrealist Max Ernst's 1930 collage novel "A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil" as a chamber opera for three vocalists, two actors and an eight-piece orchestra with exhilarating results. The 90-minute piece is a spellbinding wonder¯hilarious and horrifying in that good old surrealist way, replete with sexual terrors, denuded schoolgirls and corny religious conflations. In contemporary cultural analysis, when everything from corporate mergers to Donkey Kong is labelled "surreal," it's refreshing to be reminded of the original avant-garde's project (with all its pretentious chauvinism and sophomoric rebellion intact) in such an entertaining way."
