At just 90 minutes, this is an opera of impressive concentration with not a word or note wasted…In the telling of this oppressive story Benjamin and Crimp are as one. Like Crimp’s text, the music is a model of clarity on the surface, while suggesting an undercurrent of evil…Everyone in the cast fits perfectly…Hannigan is outstanding as the Queen.
