Here’s an early review of Mark Adamo’s Lysistrata which has just opened at New York City Opera.
This is from Steve Smith of Time Out New York:
It was hard to come away from tonight’s premiere without a sense of renewed faith in the possibility that contemporary opera can deal with both the baggage of genre history and the demands of a contemporary audience. Adamo, in only his second big-stage piece, neatly proves that it can be done — and with a show that’s genuinely entertaining, to boot.
