BWW Review: On Site Opera Is Back Performing Live and In-Person--and It's No GIANNI Come Lately
by Richard Sasanow - April 14, 2022

Of course, the composer’s written about greed, love and violence before, but never in a way to lift the spirits and tickle one’s fancy, using Giovacchino Forzano’s libretto.
