The Washington National Opera has gathered a company of first rate singers for a portmanteau of four, one-act operas called Written in Stone.

The last time this many groups of unfriendly instruments had a gig in a first run house was probably PDQ Bach's last show in Carnegie Hall. Gesamtkunstwerk this isn't, and it lasts for two and a half hours.
