BBC Radio 3 ‘Sunday Morning’ programme broadcast an excerpt of My Secret Heart. Mira Calix’s work was one of Joanna Macgregor’s Highlights of 2009 in a programme hosted by Iain Burnside. Joanna Macgregor said, ‘Streetwise Opera is a fantastic organisation which puts on stunning and ambitious projects. My Secret Heart was fabulously nuanced – it doesn’t work if it ticks boxes, you have to do it with utter authenticity, passion and commitment. This is why Streetwise Opera is so good – they don’t just do a project and use people – they follow up with people. Streetwise is doing something very powerful and new.’
