| Review | "Perhaps the most important aspect of this opera is its relevance to family life thereby possessing what many other productions, including television, a point...this is a delightful work. It was entertaining to watch and to hear. Sarah Schlesinger has written a clever dialogue, which is complimented by the skillfully composed music." --Chris Meerdink |
