The World Premiere of "TESLA" took place at the Colony Theater Miami Beach Sept. 28 - Oct. 1, 2017. The critics said: "the music and drama flow organically and effectively" "The scene at Tesla’s Colorado Lab where an explosion takes place while Tesla and Marie are having sex produced heat in more ways than one" South Florida Classical Review "the score features a restless, intense, sometimes minimalist musical language that drives relentlessly forward without much respite, mirroring the devotion and passion that Tesla himself exhibited throughout his life." Palm Beach Arts Paper "Obviously, who claimed that time would tell the truth and evaluate his contemporaries because the future, for which he really worked, belonged to him is tempting (but thorny) protagonist for a contemporary opera. And Kievman takes the story of genius as a sort of Monte Rushmore of American science facing on the scene as the center of his most ambitious opera to date."
