I thought the staging was magnificent- impressive use of video backdrops,
fabulous costumes, etc.
Cast was good both dramatically and vocally.
But while I am no hater of 12-tone music (there are Alban Berg pieces that
fascinate me), Wuorinen's (sp?) score left me cold. Reminded me a bit of much
of Schoenberg, sounds like the music of a great theorist of composing, as
opposed to a great composer.
Musically a hard piece for kids.
