    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
