Conducting Mozart's Cosí fan tutte,
Opera in the Ozarks, July 2008


"The music is by the talented and acclaimed composer Nico Muhly, with the libretto by Stephen Karam. The power of sound is almost overwhelming and the cast does justice to it. The conductor is Matthew Mailman, and his talent is supreme."

BROADWAY WORLD Review of Oklahoma City University's production of Dark Sisters by Nico Muhly

“Conductor Matthew Mailman brings the opera [Dialogues of the Carmelites] to lush and lovely life. Cheers to the Wanda L. Bass School of Music and the Opera/Music Theater Company at OCU for every aspect of this presentation.”
– City Sentinal, November 17, 2012


"Oklahoma City University’s production of Kurt Weill’s 1947 opera Street Scene featured fine voices and ... boasted (an) excellent orchestra."
​- Oklahoma Gazette, December 23, 2013


I continue to stand in awe of the pit bands at Oklahoma City University. Yesterday afternoon at the matinee performance of Sister Act was no exception. In fact, I thought the players achieved near perfection. You, your associates, and your students deserve a showerload of accolades. In simplest terms I thought you were wonderful. I lived in NYC for many years, and I can honestly say I never heard a Broadway musical that sounded better than Sunday's music.
