[69] Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth said Black Lodge is "ripping through the fabric of future vision psychosis where the integrity of classic form clasps the hands of radical possibilities.” [70] The opera film is directed by Michael Joseph McQuilken. [71] The Wall Street Journal describes vocals sounding "alternately like a baroque countertenor, a baritone, a rocker and a crooner.” [72] Black Lodge was nominated in the 66th Annual Grammy Awards for a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording.
