great modern opera- great production too

great orchestral music as well as vocal.

Wonderful new music, a splendid cast. great voices, great acting

Crackles with theatricality, never a dull moment. Musical score is more a piece in the mosaic than the main attraction as with some other operas, but it serves the story and characters.

Loved Lestyn Davies's character (and his voice.)

A new opera in English commissioned for the Met based on a novel of the same name. Exceptional in every way.

Acting, singing, casting, and orchestra were all terrific—however the script was prett simplistic. It was weird to hear such basic lines being sung by opera singers.

Beautiful music, inventive staging. Isabel Leonard was simply to die for in the title role. Christopher Maltman was superb, as well.

Production was magnificent. The music, however has no 'songs' - no melody and no rhythm. If you like so called 'contemporary' music, you might like this. The singers sing dialogue using intervals with nothing lyrical for 3 hours.

I thought that the libretto was sometimes a little thin, with commonplaces as a kind of recitative. I loved the mixture of voices that occurred in other places that might have been like that. The singing was impressive, and the scenery was great.

Wonderful cast; outstanding vocals and acting! Complex script. Excellent staging.

Everything about this new opera is excellent! Go see it!!
