To whom it may concern

I am pleased to write this recommendation for stage director Pablo Ariel.

As music director of the Haifa Symphony Orchestra I had the opportunity on three different occasions to work directly with Mr. Ariel. All three were youth concerts and two of them were opera productions: Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel and Rossini’s Cenerentola.

Mr. Ariel displayed in each of these projects highly imaginative and original ideas, which captivated our audiences, young and old alike. He has a wonderful connection with children including an extraordinary sense of humor, which keeps his young listeners interested and motivated throughout the hour-long performance.

The beauty of his work is that most of his ideas do not necessitate verbal explanations and thus his art for is not directed to countries where he speaks the local language.

I therefore warmly recommend Pablo Ariel as a stage director for youth productions throughout the world.

Sincerely Yours

Stanley Sperber

Laureate Conductor
Haifa Symphony Orchestra
