“A stunning opera and performance art… through scenography and music, Maya Petrovna created a futuristic utopia, in which alienated beings try to relate to one another. It is a highly visual performance whose musical background extends from Jodorowski to the films Baraka, Samsara and Koyaanisqatsi...”

“Starship departs from Pazin Castle to “Futura Monomania” planet… Bomb in all senses and the craziest opera you'll ever experience, and hours later repeat bring Maya Petrovna back to us. “

”Maya Petrovna with surrealist operatic performance Futura Monomania. It's everything but "ordinary opera”. A look at the different costumes that the artist herself makes is enough to talk about this performance. Petrovna turns into unusual creatures with too many hands to elaborate dresses with the finest details. The author's opera composition and unusual video projections that complement the performance are unique phenomena.”

“Multidisciplinary artist Maya Petrovna… she transformed the old Pazin Castle into symbolism and contemporary associations. Her suggestive costumes and visuals, voice and movement evoke surrealism, but lead to something general in the human, multicultural, ubiquitous and inner…You are surprised during the play with various characters…They cause complex emotions. The costumes taken off on stage I have experienced as layers that we should discard in order to return to our authentic and real self.“

”Maya lends her creations a chorus of voices as grand as the Italian Operas of the 19th century- and from that great stage her creatures sing to us and tell us stories in a language so open to interpretation that no translation is needed, they speak directly to the heart.”

"Maya Petrovna, lacing songs with industrial, theatrical, operatic, atmospheric movements with spacious reverb'd vocals. Nick Cave and Billie Holliday came to mind…”

“Compelling and out there presence of Maya Petrovna, with a rich, deep, Dietrich-like voice. This one woman show plus occasional dancer was fascinating. Strange. And strangely attractive.”
