"Glass provides singers and orchestra with some of his most tuneful writing ... the instrumentalists play with precision and affective authority".

"There's plenty of drama and intensity in the first half ... But maybe Glass's mistake is to repeat too much from his own musical past here. The work lacks the element of surprise, although Portland Opera under Anne Manson deliver a satisfactory performance overall".
