Snider’s slow, elegantly understated and, within bounds, reverential opera operates as much as a passion play as an opera.

“Gram was very reverential about the Opry stars, but the audience wasn’t ready for it. Of course, a few years later, everybody had long hair, and then you had Southern rock.”

“I’m creating my own vision of the artist’s unfinished masterpiece, torn between a feeling of reverential awe and profound admiration,” he told Wallpaper.

I think there's a reverential approach that is just as, if not more, valuable.

It’s as if he’s claiming nature’s untrampled territory with his reverential gaze — a distinctly political act for a colonizer.
