Review
"...genuinely interesting in its manner of weaving an orchestral lattice work of arpeggiated phrases into a supple emotionally suggestive background...vivid and moving...arrestingly verbalized and composed." --Leighton Kerner<BR>THE VILLAGE VOICE <BR><BR> "If the real worth of an opera lies in its music, Adolphe's work deserves high praise...This is modern opera at a consistently satisfying level--interesting roles both dramatically and musically, and an accessible language that invites sympathy towards an admittedly esoteric subject. It is the kind of work that the New York City Opera and other regional or university producers should consider adopting so as to guarantee its extended life."<BR> --The Jewish World
